I don’t know what people have about comments being kept to tags, me, I fucking LOVE when people comment in the body of their post. Like… that’s what it’s there for?
That’s one bit of tumblr “etiquette” I have NEVER understood.
Ha same, shall I add ‘there are two kinds of people’ to this post? I mean I am also happy to read tags, but I’m on mobile a lot so I can’t always copy/paste to respond to them, and my favourite feature of Tumblr is this ability to continue the conversation that someone else began. I love gifs but I need some words with them to really get interested and start thinking; if it’s *just* images often my brain just says, ‘huh. nice.’ and moves on. Keep commenting, my friends!
I don’t use the mobile app, because it tried to take over my phone and never loaded any images, so I read on a mobile browser, and here’s a horrifying thought: tags truncate. I can only see a screen width of tags. I have literally saved thousands of posts to drafts so that I have a link to go back and look at them on my computer so I can read the tag art (it doesn’t save the tags, I have to use the saved draft as a link to find the post) because otherwise I have no access to what the tags say.
So I too find it a little bit annoying when someone’s commented on something just to say “wow!” or “great!”, a little bit, because if that’s the version that all my friends reblog I have to do a ton of scrolling to get past it (because no postblock on mobile browser either) but basically the only experience worth having on Tumblr that I can reliably access is someone’s amusing commentary.
