@jade-everstone that's because one of the staff leaked an email that the company that currently owns tumblr is moving most of tumblrs' staff to other projects. Because of that, they're leaving behind a skeleton crew to keep the website running. Many said that whenever a skeleton crew appears, the website is going to die in the future as it means it take longer to do update and fix bugs.
@ninacti0n That's what I was thinking too π₯²I rejoined about a year ago & i feel like I only got to enjoy it for 4 months before the tumblr live & layout change stuff & now not knowing where the site will be
A little late to the party but i think the CEO eventually addressed this, the email was a few months old already and the downgrade isn't actually enough to shut the website down in just a few months. I think they're going to focus more on core developments. But it's also still important to find other places for stuff!
