Re: It's not because of tumblr, imo

For me, personally, one of the reasons I stopped posting on LJ was that it was becoming less and less of a fandom thing and more and more of a personal blog.

What would happen is this: I'd get into a fandom, make friends, write fic, translate, etc., and eventually move on to a different fandom (as you do), and the cycle would repeat itself, with the fandom friends who became RL friends though our interactions remaining on my friend's list with a genuine interest in RL posts and vice versa. Rinse, repeat enough iterations and now I find I have overwhelmingly more people on my friend's list that are friends who don't share my current fandom and aren't interested in my fandom posts. But LJ is where I go to talk about fandom; I can talk to all of these RL friends on Facebook, IM, etc.

So I'd get complaints from RL friends if I posted too often about fandom, complaints from fandom friends if I posted too often about RL, complaints from random strangers if I didn't post enough translation (my fandom community service, basically)... damned if you do, damned if you don't, and I just stopped posting altogether. And got a tumblr. No one really seems interested in actual friendship on tumblr, so it's all fandom, all the time.

But as so many people have pointed out, without getting into the whole ~durn SJWs are ruining everything~ (as I've yet to come across a single one of these dreaded terrors in my fandoms on tumblr), tumblr simply as a platform has a few critical flaws that kill productive discussion dead.

You could have filtered posts to display to different groups, I guess.

Or made different accounts: one for fandom, one for personal posts.

But at the time LJ was already waning in terms of both readers or posters, so I didn't bother.
