in reply to @haraiva's post:
the only problem I've got with it is if people share with just tags and nothing else, it looks like the OP put those tags there
example: https://cohost.org/NireBryce/post/162722-empty
it looks (chrome, Android) to me like I'm sharing your post and your tags, because of where they are in the post layout
if it doesn't show that way for you then maybe it's an Android bug
maybe its because ive used tumblr for 10000 years but i def read that as your tags and not mine because its your username with 🔄 at the top of the post!
as a tumblr non-user i also find this very confusing.. visually it looks to be as if everything in the white section is the original being reposted
also as an side the reposting ui doesn't actually give any indication that the original tags will be hidden, i didn't realise that was a thing
maybe it was just my default theme, but on tumblr the tags had visual+spatial separation from the OP and OP's tags remained, at least in 2016-18 when i came back.
it's a tiny thing, but it does at a glance look like it's OP's tags on their post being shared by me, because it's in the white of their post, not the beige of the, for lack of better words, "share container". I'll see if it looks the same on desktop in a sec
Part of the tumblr 2 features includes occasionally getting echos of other people's comments in tags devoid entirely of context as you type your own
Sameeeeeee
I hope that this feature will go largely unchanged over the years.
I await when we can start typing anything and a gargantuan list of contextless comments drop down as we speak into this expanse of whispers from other people who may have already written comments not unlike what you originally intended to write, and so onnnnn
nooo don't leave comments in tags it's only going to increase the databases' cardinality think of the poor data scientist who has to look at this /s
