It's pure MAGIC! Haha. Besides it flaws, LJ really is the best social platform in terms of fandoms and other interests and stuff though. It's just so much more organised. I missed the comment threads the most, omgggg.
It really isn't. I love love love the pretty on Tumblr, but uuuggh people get such ginormous egos on there, once they get reblogged a lot. And I hate that you can't filter out the crazy in the tags, nor that you can filter your dashboard. And then when you unfollow someone, they get all butt hurt about it because apparently they all wanna be tumblr famous and get as many followers as possible, uuuuughhh.
YAY LJ. We just gotta nudge people into posting again ;)
I must admit I post a lot less often than before, as there are fewer active people around here nowadays. However, I miss "the old days" of a more active LJ, so it's good to know that there'll be more posts from you now.
Also, in my opinion LJ is a place where you make friends, whereas on most other social sites you just make acquaintances - as in, you only get to know them through common interests, and you often don't get to know more about them than their fandom likes and dislikes. For me that sort of "friendship" is too superficial, and I like how LJ can be more personal, so to speak.
But, enough serious talk like that. So glad to have you back!
We just gotta start a movement! Get the band back together and all that jazz ;) I never expected people to actually comment on this post and woah, people are still willing and do miss this place also, so why not try to get it to become more active again? :D
Exactly, LJ makes you truly connect to people. Yes, you friend each other because of a certain interest at first, but because this is a journal-style social media network, you actually learn more about each other because people don't just blog fandom stuff/pictures, they also post about their lives and whatever tickles their fancy and then you can actually discuss things with each other. It's just great!
Vaguely here, here - I was rereading some random old fic of mine a few days ago ('cause I haven't written since last year's Yuletide and I've sort of forgotten what it's like), and thought of you :)
Oh, y'know, busy and tired! I work too much, have limited outlets for fangirlishness and I miss peoples I used to know on LJ 'cause it seems like everyone migrated to Dreamwidth/Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook. Cue Lizzie with the world's biggest sadface ;)
