Most reblogs are blank. I agree that replying on your own blog isn't a mistake. I'd just amend that Tumblr almost gets it right.

- JulianMorrison 14y agoThey aren't blank, they're forwarded to your followers. The design results in chasing links of reblogs from posts and following the people who reblogged to establish followed/follower networks that share values and talk a common language. This is why tumblr is famous for having intense politics. I consider the combination of "reblog" and "follow" to be a major design win.
