Dear tumblr staff,
With all due respect, y’gotta put in updates that aren’t gonna get rid of/repel a good chunk of your users. In the case of this latest update, it’s made it so that you can’t cut posts, a feature which is needed not only by regular bloggers (since I cut posts/replies on my personal frequently), but more importantly for the large role-playing community that writes here on your website.
We, the roleplayers, cut posts so as to not clog our dashes or other’s dashes with posts that would otherwise have anywhere from twenty-up reblogs in replies, and without the old post editor that allows you to cut posts, that’s impossible. It disregards a large community on Tumblr who uses the post-cutting feature, and it’s not just a certain group of roleplayers, either —– it’s all of us, everyone from Doctor Who to Vampire Diaries to Parks and Rec to Supernatural. It’s all of us that use this feature for our own comfort, for clean posts and clean dashboards. It’s not fun to try and get around this, and if there isn’t some solution to it (such as, perhaps, getting rid of the feature that doesn’t allow for post-cutting), then you’re likely pushing away a HUGE part of your users on this website, and forcing them to go to other platforms.
Not only is this likely something you can fix, and an annoyance to us, but pushing away your users is also an extremely bad business strategy that could lose you a faithful community that’s stuck with you all this time (despite some pretty bad updates earlier).
Yours not-so-truly, - The Tumblr Roleplaying Community
