Yes, there's definitely a generation gap going on. And it fits my impression that the overall climate in fandom has become a lot more hostile and agressive.

I mean, there always has been ship wars and other drama. But it was a lot easier to avoid it. Nowadays you can write some sort of harmless meta and a fiction-kin and they're followers can come screaming at you that you're a harmful and toxic person. It's crazy.

I think some of that is down to the format. It's a lot easier for lots of different people to stumble across your post on Tumblr than it was on LJ.

Unfourtunately it is. It's a whole lot messier and unorganized.

Ah, damn, this is one of those discussions that once again make me mourn the fact that tumblr replaced lj as a platform. Lj had its bad points too but at least you had a better overview and organisation about discussions etc.

If only LJ's mods hadn't let it go to shit... (I don't think that's the only reason it got replaced or anything, but it was definitely a factor. I think a lot of people wanted to stick with a journal-based platform but LJ just wasn't cutting it anymore, and DW never gained much steam.)

I think it got repleced because it's just easier for people to create a hugbox for themselves on tumblr. Plus, social media requires so little effort just to get noticed. You needed to provide some kind of content on lj. But, on tumblr, you just need to reblog the most popular things to gain a following. I think those are the real reasons Dreamwidth never took off.
