I miss when usenet groups and email lists were the big nexus of fandoms. I gotta say though, at the risk of shouting at clouds, I do think that the way fandom is done has changed more in the last couple of years than it did in the thirty years prior (including the rise of the internet) It is less communal, social, and interactive now. Everyone just stays in their own corner and screams their opinion and never debates or discusses. IN fact there seems to be an embargo on discussion beyond everyone having to agree how right the original poster is. Any dissent is punished harshly. That cannot be good for fandom.

I agree with you. My only hope is that the system of current fandom will collapse. I mean, I see more and more people getting fed up with it and withdrawing from places like tumblr. And not only older fans but younger ones too.

Tumblerisation has made fandom toxic and people feel that this does no good to their wellbeing.

I was thinking the other day... In my fandom, at least, Tumblr is becoming less and less useful with every new upgrade. I don't go there often anymore, but the last time I checked there were all sorts of unrelated things in the tags, and people were expressing discomfort about posting their fic because of how things get sorted and all...

And I wonder where fandom will go next.

I definitely foresee fandom taking on a new format. I also think the lack of anonymity on the internet plays a part. It was a lot easier to be comfortable when you knew five other people who were capable of more than email and AIM.

I noticed this a lot too. Many people on tumblr complain about tumblrs toxic atmosphere and want to leave, but feel stuck because it's the central hub of their fandom.

I also hope there will be a big change in the fandom experience. Tumblr is just exhausting because of people using tags as their soapboxes, tagging hate, and anon harassment. Just a really terrible environment overall.

The tags are a blessing and a curse. They are good because it allows you to see new stuff in relevant tags. Bad because people try to bring their drama into the tags, sometimes unintentionally.

It certainly takes out much of the fun.

But it has to do with popular platforms that are made for mobil phones and not good for text discussion too, and less because of SJWs. (Blame Apple!)
