#we did get dms in the middle of that tho i just can't quite place my finger on exactly when.

do new tumblr users know that in the past we couldn't directly reply to replies. we had to use xkit with a feature that lets you click the replies in your notifs that created a new post with the original comment and tagged the commented and you could add whatever you want to that. and we just lived like this. and that was before we had dms too so it was either that in public (and hitting post limit fast) or hitting ask limit or using fan mail that I'm not sure even exists anymore. you don't know how good you have it

#i am an old man in the center of town yelling about how things were back in my day to whomever is willing to stop and listen #we also didn't have discord. up until like 2017 we used skype if we wanted to talk outside of tumblr. SKYPE!!!!! #we did get dms in the middle of that tho i just can't quite place my finger on exactly when. #you guys don't know the horrors of the skype groupchat equivalent of a kin discord. most unreadable shit on earth #ok now i REALLY sound like an old man lol sorry.
