It feels like the conversation within fandom has changed; it's a different type of discussion, and there isn't as much centralization like there used to be with message boards and LJ communities. (There's way more centralization with, say, fanfic archives, which wow. That is really awesome.)

Interaction is very different, with social media, and I don't feel that's either a good thing or a bad thing. It's just a thing. Societal norms march on.

I also honestly don't feel there was as much "quality in-depth discussion" regarding fandom as I've heard people reminisce about; the general discourse feels comparable now to what it did in 1998. It's just that the format for how we talk about it has changed. (Yes, it's hard to have an actual conversation on Tumblr, but not on Twitter, for example, and it's not hard to find lengthy posts on Tumblr discussing fandom issues. It's much easier to share things you find in both cases.) I dunno. Sometimes I miss LJ and message boards, but I wouldn't give up Twitter for either of those.
