Goodbye, Fan Mail!
Tumblr is discontinuing Fan Mail in favor of Messaging. Late last year, Tumblr hid the “Send Fan Mail” button from your Inbox as soon as you could use Messaging. But there were workarounds to keep sending and replying to Fan Mail. Those loopholes are closing. For example, if you try to reply to an existing Fan Mail from the Desktop Dashboard, you’ll be prompted to “Please use the new Messaging to talk to a Tumblr.” According to Tumblr Help, any Fan Mail messages you have in your Inbox will remain.
Will Tumblr next add slash commands and/or bots to Messaging?
