Do people even use LJ anymore? It used to be that it takes me hours to look through my f-list after not going online for a day. Now, I barely spend five minutes or something. >.>

seems like it. honestly, these days i mostly look at my flist for the daily fandomsecrets post and the odd fic.

i would be around more if any of the fandoms i'm into at the moment had any real presence on lj (or even dw)... but they don't.

Some of my f-listers still post about rl stuff, but I don't really look at LJ much for fandom at all. (And fandomsecrets has finally moved to DW. Meh.)

There's really nothing much happening at the fandoms I'm into, so if anything new happens at LJ, someone's bound to post about it on Tumblr, anyway, so I guess Tumblr's the place to be.

THIS :(

But as you're here now...

...*crash tackle glomps*

I let my paid account lapse last year... and then in a fit of madness, bought a Dreamwidth one, as if that would somehow help.

Meh. I still check my flist and post longer stuff on my LJ but I don't think anyone's reading it. I guess we've all moved on. (NGL, I miss the old days, as much as I enjoy tumblr and twitter.)

I just read your LJ post, and I was all gearing myself up for a long comment, but I just ended up feeling too maudlin to say anything. :P

I mean, I still read most of the posts in my f-list and comment when I could, but I guess I've moved away from the fandom that was the primary reason I use LJ and there wasn't much point anymore. But I do miss the comment threads. I guess I'm a bit of an old fogey, but tumblr is really graphic/art based and there's not much room or time for talking and I miss that.

Maudlin is exactly it. I was in a rotten mood when I posted that last night. >_<

Totally agree about the comment threads - that what I miss too. I don't mind so much about moving elsewhere but I do wish things were still discussed. Tumblr's system seems inherently passive-aggressive to me (like, the fact that you can't reply directly to someone by default), and Twitter is too transient. :(

I joined LJ last year so I missed a lot but I follow new fandoms on tumblr and it moves too fast. People only reblog the pictures they see, no comments no conversations. And these days people only have accounts to join fests.

(and hello I've always wanted to talk to you but never could ^^;)

I agree about tumblr. I love it for the graphics and links and all, but it isn't exactly conducive to interaction, is it. :/

(Hello! It's really nice to meet you and also humbling because there's an implication there that I'm scary and really I'm not, haha.)

(like, the fact that you can't reply directly to someone by default

And even when you can comment on something, you have to keep well within the 250-character maximum. :P Idk, it seems unwieldy to reblog a picture that's already in your blog just so you can reply to a comment. I guess the way Tumblr is set up, you're not really supposed to have a long, thoughtful conversation without cluttering everyone's dashboard. :P

I don't have a twitter account because until now I still couldn't figure it out. >.>
