All these notes and paragraph long arguments on a post that is not even mine anymore

What a weird thing to wake up to

*shrug* That’s just how tumblr works.

Well man oh man, that needs to be fixed. Not enough people talk about how other users can change and modify, cut, edit, etc. other people’s posts. It’s just left up to common courtesy and trust that other users won’t (but they do)

Why is that even something possible? Artists would never have to worry about their comments being removed off their own art if post modification was locked from other users, for example.

That’s not a technical problem, it’s a social one. Artists would still have to worry about comments being removed from their artwork since it’s a lot more common for people to just outright repost art than to remove the comments. 

Making posts unmodifiable doesn’t solve that.
