What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

How do you think it compares to other fandom communities you've been in?

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

Much, much better here. Less stupidity, more fun, actual back-and-forth.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

+1

Too many sneering assholes eager to call people who disagree with them trolls, or to call for people who have even the mildest criticism of the site to leave. The comm would be a lot better if we had less of those.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

I think that's focusing on the symptoms and not the cause, frankly. If the more prolific and nasty trolls left and stayed gone, people wouldn't be so defensive and quick to assume others are them.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

I like it because it's one of the last bastions of ye olde LJ fandom culture. I hang around tumblr too and it's fun as long as you avoid the wankers, but it's just not the same.

Compared to some of the other (now dead) comms I used to frequent the F!S community not the greatest, but the current climate here is far more pleasant than it was back before the move to dreamwidth. At the very least, there's enough cool people and interesting dicussion to keep me coming back.

Now that I think of it, F!S is like the opposite of scans_daily. That place was great on LJ and is now a total shitfest on dreamwidth.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly how I feel about it.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this. It feels like LJ culture, but tbh, without the drama. Yes, there is some drama here, but not NEARLY comparable to what it was in the LJ days. I worry to some extent it's a bit because anyone radically different would probably get fed up after long enough and leave and we just legitimately don't have any new blood here... but that aside, the discussion-focused feel of 2000s fandom is nice, and that's why I'm here.

+1 When I say I miss LJ fandom culture, the threads here are exactly what I mean. That's why I fell in love with LJ, and while I don't think it's as inactive as people like to say it is, the culture just isn't there anymore. But it's here and I love it.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[elaminator]

Agreed. I love f!s because it reminds me what fandom was like back in the ~golden~ days of LJ. I still love tumblr, it's just a very different platform; I'd much rather come to a community like this to try to start a discussion...I feel like not only is someone more likely to see what I have to say, but they're more likely to reply, and we're more likely to be able to hold a decent conversation.

But I've been coming to f!s for many, many years and love seeing what secrets people come up with. I loved it before when the comm had more secrets and wank, and even when things were harder to keep up with (before we got individual threads for secrets), but I will say this: f!s before general comments was not as fun to me than f!s after general comments.

The only thing that worries me is how many people seem to have left (and how few new people there are), but...it happens. I'll keep coming here as long as people want to talk.

Now, f!s compared to other comms? ...I haven't been a part of another active comm in years, and there are a couple I adored and miss, but f!s has always been one of my favorites because of the fact it is multi-fandom. Multi-fandom spaces are lovely, and I've always wanted more of them.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[ketita]

I like it. It's a nice multifandom slice.

It's funny, the other day I actually mentioned this comm to my family, and my sister was totally boggled. She was like "I don't understand, it's just a community for... people who like things? You don't have anything in common! How does that even work?"
I couldn't really explain, but I feel like it does? I definitely find this place more varied and more skewed towards my interests than other multifandom comms I'm in, and I like that there's discussion threads with more than just squee.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that drastically different. Some nicer members than others, some who may or not be trolls, some who are definitely trolls, mean streaks, fluffy streaks, etc.

It's hard for me to compare too much though, because most of my other comms have been moderated. The closest equivalent I can think of is GodAwfulFanFiction (any other former GAFFers here?!), which had an admin but (s)he really didn't do much modding, and even went AWOL because of family problems. Because of the minimal moderation, it was actually quite similar. (And I even suspect some trolls are the same.)

Good

wish it had more of a sense of humor sometimes

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

We're basically an eternal WorldCon without the expense, the travel, the bad food, or the communicable diseases.

(You doubt my claim? We have a hucksters room, a screening room, and panel discussions. Need I say more?)

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I wish the named users were cooler, people weren't baited so easily, and there was a little more humor thrown around, but it's pretty good.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

It's crazy how much the comm would improve if people just, like, 1/4 of the time, instead of calling troll, just laugh at the person

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I wish there were more good humor. The attempts at "humorous" or "it's just a joke!" trolling here are so cringey sometimes. I love a good funny troll but they're rare.

in b4 "you have no sense of humor b/c you just don't understand my brilliance!!1!!"

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

It has got very bland and nilla. It was better when we could dogpile the spergs and concerners. I miss those days.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

Kinda immature.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[caerbannog]

About average, less ongoing fights than some. I'm actually fond of the FS community?

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[dethtoll]

Healthier than the gaming forums I've hung out in.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

On my comm - it's like the world don't exist. We stay confined to this small little section we living in. Oh my comm, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Cause I love these nerd boys and girls. Born and raised on my comm.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[(Anonymous)]

I like the older crowd, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's fairly typical of most fandom a in social media nowadays.

Re: What do you think of the community on fandomsecrets?

[otakugal15]

Hmm...it's better than Tumblr, but it's nasty compared to a few places I used to frequent back during LJ's heyday.

Over all though, as it stands right now, it's pretty damn tame.
