Late night confessional

I never understood tumblr reblogs and why everything was presented backwards. I think it's one of those "you had to be there to get it" things.

ok bye.

@julian what do you mean, "backwards"? back when they used nested blockquotes, you would read the usernames going inward and then read the content going outward. then they changed the default ui so that it used actual blocks of content in order.

@trwnh@mastodon.social yeah it was the fact that it was all nested, so I'd start reading them from the outside in, and realize quickly I was reading them backwards.

That kind of stuff only really happens in email, which is why I was caught off guard.
