Ironically

Trying to round up people on Tumblr before they disappear has caused me to interact with more people on Tumblr than I have in actual years.

Ok, I mean, I was on there daily and reblogged a lot, but I didn't create stuff on Tumblr. And (as I've mentioned) interacting with people was fraught bc so much of it so weirdly public and hard to track.

So now I'm seeking people out and encouraging them to come to dreamwidth and trying to follow up with folks and it's waaaaay more interaction with Tumblr than I have had in a long ass time, and DW, and and and... gosh it takes a lot of people-energy to be a fan.

It does indeed. It's my opinion that this is the second biggest reason why Tumblr became a hub for fandom -- because it was so low energy for people to find content and they had very little incentive to interact. DW is fairly different in that respect (as was LJ).
