People did go to twitter and discord, but I'm not sure if they completely left tumblr. As for if the former two are good for fandom. IMO, no.

Twitter I'd be willing to try in a pinch, but I have tried discord. It was for a single pairing, from a single show, pretty tiny fandom and not everyone was on there. And it still drove me nuts within weeks. It depends way too much on real-time interaction from what I can tell. Either you're glued to your phone and laptop, or you miss out on most of it. I don't live in the US, and I have a job, so I *would* miss out on most of it. Twitter has that problem too, less so than discord, but more than tumblr or LJ. Again, all my experience and my opinion.

Around the time of the NSFW ban there were some names of new platforms bandied about. Pillowfort was the one I heard most and I joined it. It could be good, but there's not enough activity to really judge.

Discord seems like it's functionally just IRC with an easier-to-use frontend. Which, fair enough, some people like IRC. I've never really figured out how to get into it (as a social platform, I mean, not technologically). Twitter, I think you just have to accept that you're going to miss a bunch of stuff, but I think you can accept that and still get a lot of value out of the platform.

WRT Pillowfort and stuff like that, it always seems to me like those things always fail because people just aren't going to move away from old platforms unless the new platform offers something substantially better, in terms of the basic capabilities it provides. So just cloning old platforms doesn't work.

I agree. Also, this makes me think of that Folding Ideas yt video about why other video platforms fail to replace yt. Have you seen it?

His production values are low, but he's hella smart. Maybe the smartest media-commentary youtuber I follow.

I used to love IRC, but I like interacting with fandom (and everyone) on my own time/terms now, and being able to see art, fic. etc. without having to be online at a certain time.

There's a discord for my fandom, Pillowfort, Twitter, and Tumblr, but I mainly go to a few Tumblrs in particular that are known for their meta rather than reading my dash, tbh.
