atomiism:

here’s a psa

to remind people that tumblr is actually the absolute fucking worst & & i feel like i have to explain myself a bit when it comes to things like this, usually because it makes me anxious that people will assume or misinterpret. so, i’d just like to remind people that:

• tumblr eats asks & & submits of all sorts
  
• tumblr eats even messages sent through tumblr im
  
• tumblr eats notifications day & & night
  
• tumblr eats tags & & posts & & queue & & drafts no matter how many times you beg it not to
• tumblr eats absolutely everything

so if i send you repeats of the same asks, memes or messages, sometimes it’s because i’m afraid tumblr ate them in the first place & & you never got them. if i message you asking you if you got my previous message it’s not a bitchy omg why aren’t you answering me it’s legit because i’m worried tumbr ate my message. if i never respond to that starter or that reply or some other thing you tagged me in, sometimes it’s because i never got the notification. if i send you a link with a starter i wrote or notify you that i wrote you something or replied to something or tagged you in something like the day of, it’s not because i’m chasing after you for activity, it’s because i’m worried you never got the notification. 

i’m writing this because i want to keep people from thinking that i’m hounding you or trying to make you pay attention to me by spamming you or some other really annoying reason that makes me out into a super creepy stalker, i swear, it’s only because i’ve had this happen to me multiple times on both ends. i just worry a lot & & i know many others do, so here’s a psa to dispel some of those notions & & make roleplaying a bit more understandable in light of tumblr glitches ! !
