F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

I want F!S to stop bashing Tumblr ;_;

Guys, guys, you're just as good/wanky/brilliant/terrible as each other!

Will never happen. What else will f!s blame all problems on if they don't have tumblr or sj?

I'd rather it be a nebulous concept of a website with a giant userbase than a specific person or small community.

Though, I think most people here have a tumblr, so maybe we're just hypocrites or masochists.

FWIW, I'm not so much bashing tumblr as I am commenting on how it's different from my own fandom nees. I prefer facebook over twitter, but I don't think one is better or worse than the other, I just feel Facebook suits my social media needs better. Same with LJ versus tumblr.

Srry, anon, but...well, frankly speaking, tumblr's existence, and the fact that it's the main fandom place right now, just made it impossible for me to be active in any fandom atm. I can't get the hang out of tumblr - I tried, but it generates too much spam, and it's just too diffcult to interact with people; I've always gravitated to discussions rather than pictures, so I'm basically fucked. And it's a horrible feeling. I don't know what to do with that; I have some real-life friends who from past fandoms, but my on-line fandom existance boils down to scrolling through tags on tumblr and reading fics on AO3, and that's it - I feel like someone has taken fandom away from me (after 16 years). I know it's ridiculous and I know that things do change, but, damn it, things have apparently changed to much and it makes me pathetically sad :( I went from mailing lists to forums to LJ, through all the ups and downs of fandom experience, and now I'm stuck at this unexpected stumbling block.

I will stop bashing Tumblr when they stop being a retarded cancerous shithole.
