calime: fangirl (fangirl)

Signal boosting for both a handy 'enable to leave kudos on post' code and fandom migration meta.

Though I fervently hope Discord isn't going to become the main fandom hub for upcoming years - not that I mind chat, but at least with my current work and rl level I am never going to be able to keep up with it, nor does Discord lend itself easily to skimming the highlights when one has time, except in very quiet slow servers. I can barely keep up with our little fannish friendsgroup chat on Signal, and as much as I like the idea of getting know more like-minded fen, Discord is just not something my spoons will strtetch to rn. I guess Dw is going to be the main hub for me, with slowly dying Tumblr keeping it's slow fizzle on the background. AO3 I sincerely hope is going to live long and prosper. Pillowfort- we'll see. The networking/federated fandom stuff - who knows.

A great post outlining the history of previous fandom purge ON LJ and talking about where could/should/would fandom go next, what we'd want to build and what might be the pitfalls : https://greywash.dreamwidth.org/46038.html

(I dunno if I'm going to get back to posting very regularly, and I'm always been more of a lurker, but though I liked the ease of seeing pretty visuals on Tumblr, I always missed the threaded comments and meta discussion possibilities that DW has, so it's kinda good to be ... driven back, especially with DW becomine a bit livelier again).
