tumblr don't tell me 'oopsie doodle, something went wrong' or 'error encountered' just fucking say 'you can't reblog this post' because, i love you, but your site and app are both fucked up and I genuinely can't tell if it's reporting a real error or if i'm just blocked.

Sometimes my app will decide that it's off the internet when i've got full bars and every other app is working so i'll close the app and see if restarting helps. If that doesn't help I'll see if closing the app, entering airplane mode, turning off airplane mode, and restarting the app helps. If that doesn't help, I'll restart my phone and then finally the app will start working again.

I don't want to go through all of that troubleshooting and shut down everything else that's going on with my phone because you can't just say "OP thinks your takes are rancid, stop hitting the reblog button."

I tried to share something twice the other day before I realized that it was a block issue, not a 'tumblr's app is garbage' issue and for the next hour every time i scrolled i got two little error notifications at the bottom saying that 'something went wrong' and 'there was an error with your post' and I had to restart the app ANYWAY so i mean i guess it also WAS a 'tumblr's app is garbage' issue but FFS say 'you can't reblog this post' and don't try to make it look like an accident. AT THE VERY LEAST that would make it easier to block back because I'd know that someone on the post doesn't want to interact with me instead of thinking that the app once again forgot what a wifi network looked like.

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.

Let me stress: Collapsing reblogs would turn tumblr into a completely different site.

A massive chunk of our site culture - arguably our entire site culture itself - is based on the collaborative nature of posts. The fact that many posts are chains of relevant additions or Bits done by multiple people is the appeal. This is not an “outdated format” or an inconvenience, it is a core function.

Also I can’t help but suspect that this partial walkback is misleading. Okay, so we still get to have a chronological dashboard, but are we going to be allowed to keep it as our default tab? Because new accounts sure fucking can’t set as such.

Reblog chains are literally what makes tumblr posts tumblr posts

hate to say it but the key to having things solved by big company customer service is you just gotta stretch the truth with them. or straight up lie. actually. was on the phone for 3 hours because they sent something to the wrong address and spoke to 10 different departments trying to figure out if anyone could go fucking get it and they're like "uhhh but can you go get it" bitch I'm 8 hours away by car, I don't live in the house where you sent it.

took a moment to think, called back and was just like. Hi. My package was stolen off the porch!!! Saw the cunt steal it myself!! Anyway can you please send new things to this other address for free since that's your policy for stolen goods thank you~☆ ! and it was immediately solved.

actually my tags are too good not to include

follow me for more customer service tips and tricks

THIS is how it's done!!!

when we were teenagers, my best friend once asked a telemarketer whether the magazine they were selling was available in braille. i’ve never been more proud of her

smoking weed with my tits out hell yeah

1. Self driving cars are created. Any day now!
2. Car-to-car communications are developed so that cars can negotiate manoeuvres on the road
3. Someone (let's face it: GM) adds a transaction system so that you can pay someone to get out of your lane if you're in a hurry
4. Navigation systems are used to implement a stock market trading convenience and speed in real time on the road
5. People realize that if you cause traffic you can be paid to get out of the way
6. Grifters form into roving packs that intentionally slow down traffic to extract tolls from cars
7. As a result, commuters group cars together and pool funds to purchase passage through swarms of grifters at a lower overall cost
8. Major corridors consisting of large packs moving together become the only viable way to navigate even moderately sized roads and all highways.
9. Size competition between grifter packs and commuter packs, commuters start scheduling coordinated travel between population centers so that a large enough pack can be formed to outcompete grifters
10. oops that's a train

OP, this is a brilliant demonstration of how

a) science fiction writers work out story ideas per Theodore Sturgeon's edict to "Ask the next question," and

b) how late-stage capitalism creates cyberpunk dystopias

ALT

The future...is now.

Oh of COURSE it's a Honda Insight. The legendary hypermiler has found another way to reduce fuel costs: make someone else pay for it!

...And see also this VERY bad idea:

Would it be ok if I posted a fundraiser thing for myself here? I've been trying to get another job since I got sick from my last one + my boss is literally violating labor laws and I'm not doing great income wise rn. Bills are piling up and I'm stressing out.

So my cash app is $thisismesaying

My Venmo is thisismesaying

And my PayPal is here, but pls note it has my dead name due to legal bullshit

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thisismesaying13

And if you can list the reason when sending anything as a personal/friends and family related, like a gift or food related or something, so I don't get taxed on it, that would be appreciated. Anything helps and i really need to pay my phone bill plus the monthly metro, and that's about $200 all together.

Please reblog for sample size.

listen we bitch about how useless the reboots are all the time but literally what can you do to lilo & stitch that would warrant a reboot? the movie is already fucking perfect as it is. what’re you gonna do? “put the anti-racism scene back in” well you can do that to the animated one too just finish animating it and make it a bonus option on disney+ like you did for muppet christmas carol. you did that on dvd for beauty and the beast and pocahontas too like. just do that. so WHAT can you add to a live action?? is lilo gonna be diagnosed autistic onscreen?? is elvis gonna be replaced by someone more woke??? is stitch gonna look awful??? just kidding we all know he is

UPDATE: THEY ARE REPLACING THE COBRA BUBBLES STORYLINE (WHICH WAS LOWKEY A METAPHOR FOR HOW THE US GOVERNMENT IS REMOVING INDIGENOUS HAWAI’IANS FROM THEIR HOMELAND) WITH A NATIVE HAWAI’IAN SOCIAL WORKER WHO’S EVEN MORE SYMPATHETIC AND KIND

NOT TO DISS BUBBLES WHO WAS A GOOD CHARACTER AND NOT THE VILLAIN BUT WOW DOES THIS MEAN THE PEOPLE REMAKING THIS HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THE ORIGINAL MOVIE WAS

SO IT TURNS OUT THE ONLY REASON FOR REBOOTING I CAN FIND IS THAT THEY ARE GLORIFYING THE GOVERNMENT SOCIAL WORKER MORE

i can already see them arguing “well we don’t want kids to be scared of social workers so they will be honest with them” WHEN THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT IS IN JEOPARDY YOU MAKE THIS DECISION DO YOU NOT SEE HOW THIS COULD HAVE SOME DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS
