Although I don't use Tumblr a lot, I've also made next to no effort to connect with anyone there and that's been true in reverse. It's just not a place for conversation so it's easy to see it as just a place to access different content.

If anything good has come out of the Tumblr purge, it's realize just how isolating it was as a fan. I saw good stuff, I read good stuff, and I wasn't really talking to anyone regularly - even people whose blogs I loved to read, contact fizzled fast if I reached out.

I think that's part of the reason why DW has felt so positive in the last few weeks - there's just a lot of people actually talking to each other, and I hadn't realized how much I'd missed that, and how little effort I had previously been putting in with Tumblr fandom.
