Reblogs of posts greater than 500 characters are now automatically reblogged as links.

This is the way “reblogging” of original writing should work! - a link to the original post plus additional commentary. It is more in line with how we share links on Twitter which go to the original post and the discussion on that page.
Reblogging might work well for short posts, images, videos, quotes, etc.. but for long text it removes the context of the original author.
