I don't think the DW folks who aren't on tumblr quite understand the way reblogs work on Tumblr.
You know, a good way to deal with this is not to insult the people you think are on DW and afraid of change. I have a Tumblr. I've had it since 2010. I am very familiar with how reblogs work.
There are tumblr conventions around reblogging, we're not heathens. Which is my way of saying "trust us to not muck things up."
I have seen a lot of what happens on Tumblr that makes me really wary of what some people emigrating from there might think it's okay to do here. That's why a lot of people might seem suspicious. It's not that oh we don't understand your newfangled ways. We don't want Tumblr style wank happening here.
