It's hella ugly to get around on mobile and touch devices. I think if it were not for f!s and the moderation controls, I wouldn't bother.

... as opposed to tumblr, which is pretty but has an idiotic UI?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Things tumblr gets right: Image uploads, link posts.

Things tumblr gets almost right: Mobile interface.

Things tumblr gets completely wrong: access control, community structure, community leadership, monetization.

Yeah... I'm following this fandom discussion blog on Tumblr. There's so much great stuff being said, but it's scattered between reblogs, tag comments, asks, replies, that it's almost impossible to track all of it. And what if I reblog something, then later someone adds a great comment, do I keep reblogging every time that happens? The discussions should be happening somewhere there are threads which stay put and are organized separately so you can choose which one to follow. Like, say, this site we're on now...

And I'm often scared to post anything truly personal there, because I can't lock it.

And instead of offering paid features, they force us to look at ads.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. It's great for single posts or uploading pictures, but once you start trying to have an actual discussion, it turns into a mess.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I miss having conversations between multiple people that were threaded and easy to read and add to without reblogging. I don't like that you can't filter and/or lock posts. Even Facebook lets you do that, ffs!

[(Anonymous)]

Post has 100 notes, 1k, 20k? Good luck seeing them all, you can't even go directly to a reblog unless the person reblogging added a comment, you can't see who liked/reblogged the OP and who liked/reblogged the contradictory opinions, people delete things and change their urls all the damn time...tumblr is useless for discussions and I don't even think it's pretty with the dull default UI and many of the available themes restrict functionality. And the damn music players and assorted crap some of them come with...DW is a haven of sanity in comparison.

Wait, do we think tumblr is pretty now?

Good thing it's super easy to customize. As opposed to AO3, which took a lot of work to make it usable for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay then.

(Running on biofuel, are you? Because my mileage certainly varied.)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm an early adopter for both sites. I needed a lot of coding to switch all that bright red on AO3 to something that was easier on my eyes (there weren't different skins available then). DW offered the purple and the green option right from the start.

Also, I hated how AO3 put characters and relationships (etc) in the same category, and had no commas between anything. It's difficult for me to find stuff just by scrolling a list down. So I had to add some more code to separate the categories and to add commas. I'm still not happy with everything, but at least it's usable now.

Customizing on DW was sooooooo much easier!

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, AO3 has always claimed to be in beta. Also, characters and relationships are in different categories - is that an issue from when the site first started or is it a complaint that posters doing usually use both?

I can't figure out how to make DW not ugly, but AO3 has a great skin that I use, and I find it super easy to use their search functions.

At least it's readable. The lj with bright white and blue makes me feel like my eyes are going to pop out.

[(Anonymous)]

No "kinda", it's super ugly. It's got some "spoiled cake" thing going on with the colors and fonts. Hrrr.

[(Anonymous)]

I always just thought of DW as 'LJ2.' But it never caught on for me once the fandom migration went over to Tumblr.
