Pardon our dust
Hey, you know the reply feature? That little speech bubble icon at the bottom of some posts?
That’s going away for a little while. We’re making room for something bigger and better coming down the pike. Stay tuned.
Seriously why wouldn’t you just wait until the new thing is ready?
I mean, I assume tumblr has some sort of staging / development system so they don’t actually have to be tinkering with the live site to test things. So leave replies alone until the new system is ready, then migrate everything over.
Is that not the most obvious answer?
