so far we have:

• the old news: blogs deleted without warning or appeal
• the other old news: some tags have become unsearchable
• the explicit news: the impending doom of all adult content
• posts being flagged by an extremely buggy algorithm which flags text, cartoons, trees, and, shockingly, memes making fun of tumblr.
• bloggers not being notified of flagged posts. apparently we’re supposed to go through thousands of posts by hand.
• years-old posts suddenly appearing on a blog’s first page. Theory goes that these are the posts that were flagged by the algorithm and got unflagged by a human
• drafts getting posted. Theory goes that these are also getting flagged and cleared, and when they’re cleared, they get posted
• blogs getting muted. Some blogs just don’t have any new posts show up after a couple hours ago.

Fuck you too, tumblr.
