so the big reveal was… pseudo-chat?

notentirely:

seriously? this is why @staff took away the ability to comment directly on a post?

how about *not* taking away functionality that i used, and i used it a lot (regardless of what @support told @david about it “rarely being used”). how about instead of degrading the service, perhaps choose to *add* to it instead.

fine. we have this chat thing. great. lovely.

but give us back post replies.

i’m not a change-averse cranky hack. 8.5 years as a tumblr, 20 years as a UX professional, and a lifetime waiting for the community i’ve so happily found here. this is where i’m coming from.

give us back our replies. i enjoy getting them, i enjoy leaving them.

it wasn’t broken.

I concur with this from @notentirely .. It’s a point well made and I could not have said it better myself..
I’m always considering moving this to a self hosted blog.. That just became a higher probability likelihood given the circumstances that the few still cool things about Tumblr are being Yahoo!ed away..





Karl-e-diem! Seize the replies. Make our posts extraordinary again..
