Everyone else made very good point on everything's that changed, both in terms of platforms, media distribution, and ourselves :D I also read interesting thoughts this morning about keyboards, too. Many people experienced the online world mainly on phones these days, while sitting down at a keyboard tends to set people up better for writing longer thoughts. That certainly resonates with me, although I may be particularly useless with phone keyboards, haha. Maybe that's not relevant if you use Tumblr etc on a computer.

Personally, even when I was trying to make Tumblr and sort of Twitter into my fandom home, I never got comfortable with expressing my thoughts freely there because of the loss of control once the reshares takes it away, and how little it takes for someone to get harrassed. But I might also be a chicken :) Getting corrected on Dreamwidth doesn't seem as fraught.

Some comms have been doing "reaction posts" for on-going media (I've seen/run them for anime, and I think I saw some for house of dragons) and these can work nicely for having chill conversations in the comments. Not super well formed meta but somewhat longer thoughts than what one might find in tumblr tags. I'm enjoying it, especially on bnha_fans because there's a good little cluster of people :)
