Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Classic Tumblr: the only site fucked enough to let you edit other people's posts. Try all you want, Twitter, you can’t possibly add a worse feature than that.
Wait you can edit other's posts? Are you trolling me?
You can't edit the post on someone else's blog, but you can when reblogging it to your own. This means that anyone who rebloggs the post from you, someone who reblogged from them, or anyone else down the chain will retain your edits. It was really popular to do this to John Green.
Edit: Fixed a mistake.
Poor guy
Yeah, why him of all people?
Pop culture baby, he has a meme value on the meme stock market
If only John Green could keep his mouth shut about his favorite taste.
No, there was a period of time on Tumblr where you could actually edit other people's posts when you reblogged them. The edit would only appear in your chain of posts (i.e., your reblog and if anybody reblogged your edited version), but it would be completely indistinguishable from the original unless somebody went and viewed the original post on the op's blog or something. No quotes or acreenshots needed. Simply hit reblog, scroll up, and change the original post however you like, then hit post.
