At his point, I've been here 5 days and this post has 85k+ notes. My notifications have recovered to the point that sometimes they're empty so I'd say the breach has been recontained and now I just need to deal with the cleanup process.
I figure it might be interesting to show just what this experience has been like.
This is my notification history over the last week. I joined Tumblr Saturday June 17th, 2023 around 12pm so the actual data starts half way through the chart. My follower count has grown at a roughly equal pace.
Overall, I enjoyed the whole thing once the shock died down. I was just surprised this was the post that would gain any traction at all. I expected the chicken posts would be the first ones to reach triple digits and only several months later. But I've enjoyed reading peoples' reactions and chatting with folks here.
I'll close out by sharing some other achievements I've gotten since:
It's free to give: Like a post
It's great to receive: Have a post be liked
This calls for a specialist: Install a third-party app
Precautionary measure: Disable email notifications

Blessings(?) of the gods: Have a post reblogged by a member of Tumblr staff
