new icon, full-sized, pattern on shirt taken from here (we all love public domain), feel free to rb
if i watch barbie (most likely i won’t in any case) i’ll only do it for the art/photography direction i guess. nothing but the visuals has my attention, really

here's your fucking feedback @staff
list of problems the removal of icons causes:
- i cant see my friends
- ruins the sense of community
- can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in
- literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
- i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
- can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username
- squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
- ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
- people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
- makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear
list of problems solved by removing icons:
- ?????
- who the fuck was asking for this
- ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way
here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere
given the goings-on, if we're mutuals and you want to have fallbacks for staying in touch, don't hesitate to message me
i've got mutuals i've been acquainted with for a decade, so just because the present means of staying in touch are getting increasingly brittle doesn't mean that i'll just let those friendships disappear
also cory doctorow is fucking right about everything, and i want to read his new book as soon as it’s out

2023 is the year of web 2.0 going mask-off
Hahaha, okay Tumblr, that's a nice joke, now bring back the PFPs
Apparently, I can no longer see the poster's pfp, including mine?
What the hell is the point of this??
back randomly??
Seems to be the progression of this bug where the ‘reblogged from’ url or the ‘reblogged’ message itself were vanishing
It's because if you reblog the post from the OP, they don't include the URL... like I don't even know how this is supposed to improve the site in any way.
staff works hard but i work harder!
v3.6.0a
v.4.1.0b
not perfect on version b yet but it's something!
GOD BLESS YOU, OH GOD I LOVE YOU
Where the fuck are blog icons what happened to them who do I need to kill to get them back
This is worse than changing the dashboard layout to match twitter, this fundamentally undermines the sense of community that tumblr has. Whoever is responsible for this should be fired
they removed icons???????????????????????
i literally have no fucking idea who any of you people are without them and i cannot fucking fathom who tumblr staff thinks this change would appeal to
every post just looks like this
So, from the staff blog:
l suspect they accidentally reintroduced whatever this bug was?
edit: also this is their change notes from Friday, August 18th, 2023.
Cyle's blog today says it isn't a bug:
What a bizarre thing to take away.
