Re: Question about Tumblr

[personal profile] soldatsasha 2016-07-21 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
My biggest gripe is how difficult it is to have coherent conversations between multiple people. Honestly I like Tumblr a lot, though, almost as much as I liked the forums of yore.

As for why fandom adopted it... LJ and DW have serious problems as fandom platforms as well. Tumblr allows literally anyone to jump in the sandbox and play, without gatekeeping from established mods/comms/cliques. It also allows non-content creators a lot more options for participation. There's always been moderating, aggregating, etc but Tumblr rolls all these into one and let's you make a spiffy blog showcasing all the fan things you like.

It also divorces fandom from personal life in a way that journal sites didn't. Sure, you could have a mostly empty journal, but ime it was very difficult to interact in LJ-based fan communities with the same distance you can interact on Tumblr with. On Tumblr I don't need to have an about me, I don't need to post about my day to prove to some mod that I'm a "real person" and not a troll, I don't need to join a moderated community just to talk about a fandom I like. I can just queue up a bunch of stuff and have fun with it.

Between Tumblrs obvious advantages for things like art and content sharing, and things like Strikethrough, it was inevitable that fandom would make the jump.

I'm just curious to see where it'll head next.
