(no subject)

 As expected, trying to split my attention between here, pillowfort, and tumblr just results in me not making posts anywhere. I do want to have a record of tumblr bullshit, for my own amusement, so here's the latest:

• About a week ago, they changed all the colors to be bright enough to cause headaches. In the name of increasing accessibility. I'm all for accessibility, but would an off switch really be that hard? XKit got us an off switch about two minutes after the feature came out.
• Now they're introducing group chats. "Great!" a naive person might think. "That seems like a useful feature!" Unfortunately, this is tumblr we're talking about. The way they implemented group chats is "create a group chat on a particular topic at random, add random users and tumblrbot to it".
• Text posts made from mobile have a 100 paragraph limit. (including lines of dialogue.)

 

Of course, the 'previous' button on paginated dashboards is still broken, flagged posts aren't reliably showing up on the 'Review flagged posts' page, and searching for 'fandom wank' is still impossible, but at least tumblr is working on the important stuff, right?
