Can I just awkwardly admit

[kitewithfish]

that I have never really understood all the communication options on Tumblr? There was always some place where I was finding responses from some poor soul, months after the conversation had gone totally stale.

So, I'm finding the idea of returning to Dreamwidth for a bit really deeply nice, if only so I have some sense of who I'm talking to, all nicely organized.

oh YES, it's such a terrible conversational platform (and yet I've had so many fabulous conversations there! complaining about the platform the whole time!)

Hello friend who commented six months I much now tell YOU HOW WRONG YOU ARE

Yes, other than being able to make a post go viral and being able to easily host and post images, I don't know as Tumblr excelled at anything else. And the virality issue had a lot of problems attached to it. Hopefully the current issues will give people who used the site by default think about what they really want in a platform.

My fear is The Youth, who found tumblr comfortable and now are looking at dreamwidth and going like, but, but, where do I Reblog things? Which is a legit concern! It's a thing!

But I am so much more comfy on dw it's actually kind of hilarious
