That's exactly how I felt when I moved to tumblr from LJ. It was so freeing, no longer having to do or be what the Reigning Powers of the Small LJ Clique thought was fun and acceptable.

I think the most surprising thing when I moved to tumblr was finding out that people still actually posted plot bunnies and fic! Like, just because they felt like it! Without the framework of rules or commitments or moderators! Amazing.

But people did that on LJ (and now DW) all the time. I don't know what fandoms you were in that it was so different.

Yeah, same. My LJ experience was great because once you found the comms that featured your preferred ship, it was like home. Of course you did have some people who were telling you that you 'shipped it wrong' but it's not like Tumblr, where people are constantly flooding the tags with hate. That shit would get shut down on LJ, unless you had bad mods.

Yeah but if your fandom wasn't big enough for there to be individual ship comms...

Plus maybe this was just me, a lot of the comms were so close knit, it was impossible to make friends. Coming in to a new fandom was much more intimidating and high pressure for me. I never made any fandom friends on LJ/DW, and I have on tumblr.

Sure they did. In 2005. 2015 not so much.

People didn't post much of anything on LJ anymore by 2015.
