fangsartworkshop asked: Weren't you one of the people saying you wanted a messaging system in place before? Or is it just cause the one they added sucks?
Actually no. That post where I compared tumblr staff to a shitty genie I meant we as tumblr not we as in me. if I want to talk to someone on tumblr, I will do i through skype. ANd there was no need to remove the replys feature because now i don’t know what people think of my posts.
Just a heads up, messaging me with the new tumblr messaging will result in you being blocked. No questions asked.
You asked for it. Here it comes. Messaging. Real, threaded, instant messaging. It’s in the latest Android and iOS apps, and on the web.
Yep: Now you can talk to a Tumblr.
This is a big launch, and it’s going to take a few weeks to get it out to everyone (we need to make sure our servers can handle the weight of your discourse). If you don’t have it now, you’ll have it soon.
Q: So, how can I tell if I have messaging?
A: Great question. If you see this smiley balloon hanging out on your screen…
…you’ve got messaging. If you message someone, they’ll get messaging. Eventually, messaging will cover the earth.
Q: What if I have other Q’s? What if I have A’s, even?
A: Well dang, we’d love to hear any feedback or questions you have about this thing. What works well? What kind of doesn’t? What kind of features do you want to see? Those are some of the Q’s that could use your A’s. Our support team is listening (and they’ve already put together an FAQ).
Notice how staff is like “any questions? ask support!” and yet support doesn’t even have an ask box open.
The FAQs dont’ answer my main question thought, it answers the exact opposite. I don’t wanna know how to turn it on, I wanna know if it can be turned off.

oh god it’s bad enough that I can’t turn off fan letters now I’m going to have to deal with THIS shit?
Tumblr staff is like a genie. People ask for things but then we’re going to immediately regret it.
