#...but when y'all leave your rant in the TEXT portion i have to meander alllll the way to YOUR blog...

Maturing on tumblr is leaving your infodump/rant in the tags instead of doing it in the text space

#i don't know how to explain it #because i used to add additions ALL the time back when i was brand-new on tumblr #like i saw reblogging your comment as the equivalent of leaving a youtube comment #but tumblr additions in text are a whole other beast #that is where the DISCOURSE goes. that is where the SNARKY CORRECTIONS go #your funny quips go in the tags so people can screenshot them and use them in their reblogs #plus i feel like it doesn't clog up op's notes tab as much #like as a Tumblr User when people leave tags i can click 'read more' to read ALL the tags... #...but when y'all leave your rant in the TEXT portion i have to meander alllll the way to YOUR blog... #...it feels like opening up your house door to take a peek then going 'ALL RIGHT SEE YOU LATER' and going back home #reading somebody's tag rants feels like i'm reading their public diary. it feels special and sacred. i will always read a tag rant #i will likely not read a text rant unless i am passionate about the topic #THAT is the difference between adding it in the tags and adding it in the reblog
