so uh, i can’t reply to posts anymore, they just– go away after I’ve typed them, which is fucking peachy

i also can’t figure out how to uninstall xkit

every time i refresh the page it comes up and tries to reinstall. i can’t interact with the site but i can scroll. i read my dashboard around the “please wait while xkit installs!” dialog box. I see everything slightly dimmed. I’m pretty good at it now.

I can’t really do anything. If I click on something and it makes the page refresh, I can’t interact with anything until the install fails. It’s between four and ten minutes at this point, sometimes longer. (Sometimes I go away and do other things, and come back and the dialog box is still up and it’s been twenty minutes.) 

I can’t uninstall it though, I can’t find where you do that. I tried updating it. I have reset it so many times I have no settings to save so thanks for suggesting xcloud but it’s literally useless to me. 

But there’s no “hey, you know what, never mind” option; I can’t figure out how to uninstall. You can’t just– do that. I guess. 

I don’t want to uninstall, because Tumblr is fucking horrible without any kind of blacklisting, but I mean– I unfollowed some people because they habitually reblogged really long posts that weren’t tagged at all, so the site is about 75% more usable without those people anyway. So I guess I can deal. I just. 

I can barely function as an adult human in the world, I am not equal to the task of the entire concept of browser extensions. But I can’t remove them. so I just use the site by scrolling strategically to read around an immovable dialog box. And so I can’t “like” things, can’t reblog them, can’t save them for later, and once the dialog box finally goes away and I can interact (sometimes I remember, and can scroll back to the thing I saw that I wanted to interact with), I type replies in and they just– disappear. 

Unless they really are showing up and I just don’t know, because how would I know, it’s not like I’d get notified if anyone replied to them. REPLIES ARE A USELESS LIE YOU STUPID FUCKS.

I am so tired. I am just tired. I am sorry to people who want to speak to me, I cannot reply to your replies and if I click through to read the whole thing you wrote when you reblogged me, I have to wait 20 minutes for the post to load, so I’m probably not going to bother. I am so sorry.

I can still answer asks. Chats, sometimes I have to wait 10-20 minutes for the page to let me respond, so don’t be sad if nothing happens for a long time.

OH AND BONUS: I too have noticed that now if you are mentioned in a post, you will get tagged in every single fucking reblog even if the reblogger adds nothing! It didn’t used to work that way, but now it’s a really really good way to make your notifications unusable. I am truly sorry to anyone who may genuinely have tagged me in something, wanting to bring it to my attention, because I am mentioned (appropriately) in a post that numerous people have recently reblogged and because of the way Tumblr truncates things uselessly, I have no way of separating an actual, real notification about this from just a reblog notice, now. 

It’s like they’re trying to make it unusable. 

And I am a person who is SO BAD AT EVERYTHING, it’s sort of tailor-made to reduce me to a pile of useless tears. Their official help wants me to delete and reinstall Chrome and do something I don’t remotely understand, and I just, that’s not a thing I can do. Okay, I have learning disabilities I can’t even figure out, it’s a circular kind of problem, and there’s just literally no fucking way I’m going to do whatever the fuck they want. I just wish I could uninstall. And I can’t.
