No, you're not. I was in web-based fandom before LJ became the hub for it, and frankly I always, always felt LJ sucked ass compared to the forums and mailing lists and fansites. I honestly feel like tumblr is sort of a return to how fandom was in 'the good ol days' where people could feel like they were a part of fandom just by participating in a discussion or posting a little bit of meta or sharing some cool fanart they found.

LJ fandom was really cliquey and circle-jerky, and I and most of my friends never felt comfortable participating in the various 'communities' there. Now that fandom's jumped onto tumblr, most of us are back into it and posting our fic and art again.

I'm sure it was great for anyone who had an established circle of friends, but it was incredibly unwelcoming for new-comers and fucking IMPOSSIBLE to navigate to find other comms or fandom projects. If your fandom wasn't lucky enough to have an aggregator of some kind and you didn't know who the BNFs were, you were SoL.

With tumblr all I have to do is go into the tags to find interesting people to follow, and I have multiple meta posts and discussions come up on my dash every day. And those discussions aren't gated behind separate LJ communities with rules or membership requirements, literally anyone who wants to contribute just has to reblog and add their piece.

If you think Tumblr is some egalitarian Nirvana where who you know is no longer important, then ohhhh, you have a rude awakening coming any day now.

They never said that? Snarky whining won't resurrect LJ fandom, sorry.

And yet you seem to imagine that snarky whining will get me to give a flying fuck about your assumptions about me.

Weird how that happens, isn't it?
