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.

Jan. 3rd, 2019 05:55 pmReading Venom fic I’m kind of wondering why in none of them Eddie Brock actually buys a bluetooth earpiece and pretends he’s just another obnoxious person thinking everyone else should be an unwitting background participant to their phone calls. I mean, personally, my first reflex thought nowadays hearing someone having an one-sided convo with themselves isn’t ’ oh, are they hearing VOICES??’ or ‘oh, are they talking to an ALIEN GOO MONSTER?’ or anything suspicious, but just 'oh fuck another one of those private convo flashers on the phone’. I mean, obviously culture varies and maybe in good old USA everyone nowadays just texts, but I’ve met those kinds off ppl in many countries, so…

Dec. 5th, 2018 07:32 pmA 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
ETA: another good linky post for people coming in or returning from Tumblr https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/1649182.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).
