One more weird complaint fueled by too much coffee: when you go to your Activity page on Tumblr, and it collapses things down so you don’t see too much activity.
I always sort of assumed it collapsed like-with-like and put more recent stuff at the top, but today I’m noticing that’s not the case. it had folded up a bunch of different people’s interactions with different posts underneath one mutual’s comment on one particular post. And I get that people who are mutuals are a different color than people I do not follow, but it collapses them all in together.
And it puts the ones it thinks I’ll respond to at the top. Meaning, mostly, replies from people whose replies I generally respond to. Which is, I mean, yes, usually there are a couple of you who reply pretty regularly and I reply to, but– in this case, that person said something similar to another person, and i already replied to that other person, so I felt like it wasn’t necessary? And so– but then there are some people, I’m realizing, that since i don’t reply to their replies (normally they come to a post I’ve already kind of done a batch reply-to, or sometimes it’s just if somebody’s just saying nice things, I like that but I feel like replying and reposting it is just, I dunno, why would anyone else want to read praise of me? if there’s no question, just niceness, I often don’t feel like I ought to re-post that because it would be sort of like bragging? anyway?)– anyway, my activity page has decided I don’t need to see that person’s reply because I don’t respond to them.
Like, what the fuck, Tumblr, don’t hide people saying nice things to me because I don’t interact with that content.
I have no idea if Xkit is managing that tab or not. (I know the replying to replies is Xkit, so I don’t know how regular Tumblr would even have access to that data, of what I’m replying to?)
Anyway. It’s weird and confusing and I’m realizing that many people have probably said things to me that I didn’t notice, even though I obsessively lurk my own Activity page to look for that very thing because I Hunger For Validation.
Come on, man. I don’t understand things.
(I do know that if I scroll my dashboard, it will display all my notifications in chunks periodically, and repeatedly. But if I’ve been scrolling my dash on mobile, I don’t see those, so.)
Anyway. It’s weird.
