(Anonymous) 2013-01-28 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)What are you looking for here? I mean, meta is available when you look in the tags, sure you have to just let it go after a little while, but then the next thing that comes up. If someone reacts to your specific bit, then you'll receive a notification.
Look, I don't care if you join Tumblr, that's up to you. But unable to get 'meta' seems a weak justification. I've gotten more access to my fandom's meta there than anywhere else and not just 'so-and-so is so hot' but how my favourite characters are self-destructive or loyal and why that happens and deep analysis of episodes.
Tumblr enables people to talk to each other even though they have fastly divergent interests far more easily than LJ/DW where it's all very neatly sectioned out. People seem far more set apart here. Sure, you sacrifice commitment, but sometimes, perhaps like the person the secret maker's talking about I don't want that commitment and I feel pressured to return it. I don't feel that on Tumblr.
Personally, I think that's more a sticking point for you than meta (and possibly the interface issue itself? We're having problems there.) and that's fair.
tl;dr: yes, actually, you can have a discussion, just you have to treat it differently than you might on here.

Nobody owes anyone any justification for not liking a particular site in the first place.

I'm on tumblr. I love it for images, and for jokes and things like that. Not so much discussions.
Personally, I like the "set apartness"--I would say "organization" of lj/dw. I feel more pressure on Tumblr, and it kills me that there's no easy way to respond to a dialogue. If I post a picture I drew on Livejournal, people can comment on it, or ask a question, and I can respond right there in the thread, even just as simple as a "thank you." If someone comments on a picture I drew and posted on tumblr, I respond by reblogging the picture, and over and over. And here's the thing--I draw to start dialogue with people. That's what I love about fanart; the opportunity for dialogue. But re-re-re-reblogging my own art to continue a conversation looks stupid and clutters my main page.
I see meta on tumblr, but not as much discussion on it. A lot of people'll reblog, maybe one in 30 will add something to it. So...what, if I see someone posted a cool fan theory, I guess I can go open all 20,000 notes, wade through the likes, and check the reblogs to see if any of them had anything else to say on the subject...it's not ideal. It's possible, but it's not ideal.
And I don't read every comment on F!S. But I do read every comment on the secrets I was interested in. Sometimes, if a discussion looks good, I'll keep a tab up and refresh it later in the evening to see what else has been added to it. All you do is hit "expand" and the whole thread is open and ready to be read.
