Re: What are your die hard stances that you will never change your mind on?

It's not the only advantage. The other advantage is that sites like Tumblr and Twitter make it exponentially easier to share content. That's really powerful because people like to see good content, and many people who make good content want other people to see it. And it's really the crucial differentiator - in my opinion - that has made sites like Twitter and Tumblr the dominant platforms for fandom.

It's good until it's the tool that spreads drama all over the website like a virus.

The amount of times I've seen people who come into fandom tags to give their opinion - AND state that they haven't watched/read/etc the fandom source - only to make an unnecessary reach on why something is problematic or completely misunderstand the content that they're criticizing just so they can get on their high horse for 5 minutes.

Livejournal nor DW has a reblogging option - and I honestly think that's a good thing for fandom spaces in terms of a person who is a fan of media would have to join a community group and follow it in order to know what's happening or to see the fandom content. Which means more effort in looking, reading and writing various fandom spaces which weeds out people who are nosy but can't put in the work to find out about it, because that would actually mean knowing what you're looking for rather than just scrolling through one page endlessly based on the people you follow - which often leads to certain people misunderstanding something they're read (like an fan theory or seeing fan art of characters unknown to them) and deciding to voice their opinion on it regardless.

Like it's absolutely fantastic when actually good sources and information that isn't based on misinformation is being spread around through reblogs - but in more recent times it's been used less for that and more to either stir drama; which I personally believe doesn't belong in fandom spaces.
Like, a huge difference between 'A show runner of this series abused the people working on the show and has gotten away with it for years' and 'hey every one lets bully a 14 year old teenager who we've decided through mental gymnastic that they're technically problematic for writing a ship we don't like' - one thing should be more spread around than the other, but certain jerks will go for the latter because it's the easier and more achievable option.
