Re: Day 4 of outtage and DW science

ayrt. All that sounds really cool, but I'll be honest - it's not enough to make me pull up roots at LJ and move to DW. I'm here for the community factor, and the community is on LJ. If there got to be a critical mass of people at DW, I would definitely at least crosspost.

TBH I feel like DW is kind of being left in the dust by other platforms. I've seen a few people on my twitter feed join tumblr in the past few days so they can amuse themselves while LJ is down, but I haven't seen anyone say "I'm so bored, I'll join DW!" I even offered some DW codes and no one took me up on them.

I totally get it, honest. I've tried to move twice already, IJ and DW, and the community just doesn't follow - and it's just not fun to be talking all alone. I've had better success on DW compared to IJ and I can interact with the few people I talk fannish stuff with here, but if I want to read fic or meta, if I want to comment, if I want people to comment on my stuff, it's still LJ.

The kind of fannish stuff I'm interest in doesn't seem to be available on other platforms, but I pretty much agree that it would take LJ collapsing for people to move.

ayrt. Yeah, I'm with you on your second paragraph for sure - AFAICT, tumblr is just a bunch of gifs, and while gifs are okay, I'm kind of puzzled at the need for a whole platform to post them.

I am officially old, I guess, now that I don't understand what the young folk are up doing with their newfangled social networking thingies.

That's pretty much where I'm at too - images are pretty and all but I don't get the point, and twitter seems to be people saying random stuff about their days (or, alternatively, posting pictures of cats, apparently) and err, okay, but I don't feel the need to share the fact I did the dishes and I'm not particularly interested in other people's dishes either (pun semi-intended).

We can be old together, nonnie. *fistbump*

ayrt. Ha! I am a dedicated twitterer. It is pretty mundane, though, it's true. I totally know what music my friends are listening to right now!

Can we be old and curmudgeonly together, nonnies? *fucking tumblr, grumble, grumble*
