Eh. I know for a fact the same people who used to comment on LJ are now only posting kudos because they are still in the same fandom with me! Not commenting! I see their kudos and I wonder if they've somehow developed social anxiety since we've moved to AO3 or it's that kudos make it easy not to comment, or more that LJ made it more fun to comment because of the icons and the social aspect.

Either way, way fewer comments on AO3 from the exact same people.

AYRT There was definitely to some extent a more social aspect on lj that led to some people being more likely to comment (I'm still way more likely to comment on fic for people I consider friends) but it also led to some people being less likely. And I suspect there's more to the fact that you're seeing less comments from the same people than just something about modern fandom. To start with a fandom that still has all the same writers and readers after fifteen years is a really unusual fandom, there's lots going on there.

AYRT Yeh, the more I think about it, the more I believe the social aspect of the fandom broke with the loss of LJ, and that was really a major part of why people commented. Also, no one even mentions being a lurker any longer. They don't have to, I guess.
