Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Some sort of unholy combo of LJ and Tumblr. I'd keep the dashboard and tagging system of Tumblr -- lots of people seem to dislike that here, but I think the tag system is one of the reasons Tumblr is so popular, because you can post something for your fandom, tag it, and suddenly a bunch of people can see it and like it without having to join a community or follow you or actively search it out. I'd keep the 'like' button but there would also be a commenting feature. 'X people liked this' would be a separate link from 'X people commented,' so the comments would be separate from the billion 'X likes this' that, let's face it, no one really much cares about except maybe the person who posted the original. The comments would be threaded, LJ-like, and you could reply to a comment with a comment though images in replies would be limited to a certain size. Reblogs could be done as well and would be put with the comments, and replies to a reblog would be a thread.

For communities, those could be set up that could be joined and any posts into that community would show in a tag search as being posted by the community rather than the user, and show up on the community's page. You could, however, also set individual posts to 'community-only.' The community page would look more like an LJ comm rather than Tumblr blog, but formatting could be set so that you could do just plain old image posts like you do with Tumblr as well as fanfic and stuff. The mod of the community could also set an option to allow anonymous posts and replies, so kink memes could be done.

In general formatting of your dash could be easily customizable too, so you could, for example, change the width of a post so fanfic posts were more readable without having to go to the person's blog. People could still make their own layouts for their own blogs like with Tumblr and LJ but embedded audio players would never be allowed ever because seriously, I thought those died with Geocities, stop it now. There would be a searchable tag list or tag cloud (because I hate when I check someone's Tumblr and you know they post something for your fandom but it's off the first page and you don't know what they've tagged it but there's no way to find out without finding a post). Also some sort of memories-style function, so people who write fic can make it actually findable on their blogs. The dashboard would also have a function for sorting liked posts, so if you liked something because you want to go back to it you don't have to scroll through 20 pages of other likes you don't care about anymore.

I have too many thoughts.

I like your many thoughts (because I agree with them).

If I had the time and resources, I would totally code this.

I love the thought you've put into this. It sounds wonderful.
