That’s really nice of him to put together such a concise, well-described list of issues for them. Hopefully someone sees this and adds it to their issue tracker. It’s very rare to see anyone internal grab something from outside like that though.

There’s evidence in the list that they know about them and can’t seem to fix them. It’s likely a pile of bandaids and trying to fix one breaks another thing unrelated.

Bold of you to think Tumblr has an issue tracker or indeed any remaining technical staff...

Heads up, foone uses they/them pronouns. I love their write ups, I know whenever I see their posts on here to cozy up with a coffee because it's about to get fun.

    No, it's a common way that non-binary people choose to be referred to that avoids gendered language. Although foone borg collective would be amazing.

      Should be a different non-plural word, straight up confusing seeing it in writing.

        A little, you get used to it fairly quickly. Maybe I'm a bit jaded, both of my partners are non-binary and it's been natural for too long :P

        'They' isn't always plural.

        So you are saying they should use a different pronoun? Because you find "they" confusing?

        I can only assume you are as equally confused by the word "you", since it too can be either singular or plural.
