lj woes

[gruskek]

Lj has gotten so different lately I can barely use it anymore tbqh. Where is everything? What are those icons. What is what?

I mostly drop by to run a fanfic comm. Which that's easy because it's just text, but trying to put in a pic or a vid or anything is such a hassle now.

And yeah, a couple of friends have sadly not made the tumblr transition so I occasionally have a look at what they're up to here.

Overall tho what a mess. They won't even let it die with dignity.

I haven't posted anything in so long, I don't even know what's changed. XD

I kinda dislike Tumblr's format. I mean, it has a great photo collage thing, and there's always great gifs to be found, but using it as an actual journal type thing is just kinda chaotic unless you keep a side blog JUST for your own work.

That is true. Tumblr does have its downsides :/ There were some good things about lj back in the day that tumblr could never have. But lj is a ghost town compared to tumblr now so what can you do.

I actually have a lot of side blogs on tumblr heh. Which in some ways is great in some ways a pain in the butt.

God your icon takes me back :') such a classic.

Still one of my favorite gif projects. X)

I don't know, since I only do text posts. But yeah people keep disappearing to tumblr and LJ is getting lonely. But I don't like the commenting function and the public feeling of tumblr, so I prefer writing private stuff here.

That is true. LJ is much better for blogging about personal life. And talking with people via comments. But since the fandoms I'm in are mostly active on tumblr that's where I usually blog these days.

Yup same, I'm here for the personal and on tumblr for the fandoms :)
