daydreaming

putting yourself first

setting boundaries and saying “no”

resting and taking downtime

nourishing your body

“giving up” on things not meant for you

taking time to heal even if it’s longer than expected

failing (no matter how many times you do it)

when we reblog a post and add our little comments or tags in the reblogs, we don’t want to take credits or notes from the op. the whole point we add our little comments or tags in reblogs is so that op gets notes and credits. that’s their post. op deserves all the notes and credits. that’s why we praise “reblog don’t repost” on tumblr dot com — by “taking notes from the op and giving them to the commenters”, you’re basically turning reblogs into reposts. and it’s so discouraging to artists, creators, everybody on your platform.

I’m thankful you are reversing the change. but please listen to your users when we say the original reblog system is already perfect as it is. it doesn’t need to be changed and it certainly doesn’t need to be fixed when it’s not broken. it’s what makes tumblr tumblr.

you said you wanted to “give every voice in a chain the credit it deserves”, our urls are attached to the tags and comments we make, we already have the credits. things already work just fine. nobody is complaining about “wanting more credit” when they add their comments or tags in the reblogs.

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

for art that someone has added reblog commentary to (or removed the caption from), reblog from the source

otherwise, avoid adding reblog comments to art (as this will affect the artist's notes/visibility)—utilize tags and replies to provide commentary (which artists will absolutely appreciate)
