And you genuinely think that people would stay in their respective sandboxes and play nice?

IIRC from LJ days, and may extrapolate, banning people from communities is a hell of a lot easier than avoiding them on tumblr. Banning by IP is also possible. Good mods will also restrict bannings to serious trolls and asshats.

If you have a LJ/DW style community, mods can freeze threads, screen or delete comments, delete entire posts, and in extreme cases, ban people. It's possible to lock individual posts or every post so only members can see it. You can set up a queue and pre-screen every post before they go live if you want. A well-modded community can stay on-topic and virtually wank-free for a long time. There's no way to do anything equivalent to this on Tumblr that I know of.

A giant EXACTLY to both of these.

While not every comm had moderators that were willing to lay down the law and keep the community wank-free, there were mechanisms in place that allowed mods to do that.

Nobody owns Tumblr tags. Nobody is making sure that they are used "correctly," and in fact, there is no universal definition of what the "correct" use of a tag is. It's kind of a Wild West situation. Or Dodge City, maybe, with two factions declaring that "this tag ain't big enough for the both of us."

(Which would make LJ/DW comms ... Metropolis, I guess?)
