Tumblr V Real Blogging
Things I like about Tumblr:
No effort forward, click and reblog pictures.
Things I miss about LJ:
The community.
Srsly. I write things on Tumblr and maybe, MAYBE I get one "like". Questions go unanswered. Feels only reciprocated when you see other people's postings who might have similar feels to you. I mean, I just think back to when I had my ( Read more... )

I agree, it's much harder to have a conversation on Tumblr and it just feels so much less intimate and friendly because it's so public. :/ It does have pretty things though.
(P.S. I still haven't forgotten I owe you a letter.)

LJ is so quiet it's seriously sad. I think the only way to actually get more than one like on Tumblr is to become a BNF. Or befriend a BNF and made them reblog your posts, idk. ~popularity!

As for the plagiarism, this user had copied and pasted my story "Secret Kisses" as her own and a crazy amount of people (even friends in real life) reported the story, sent shaming comments on the reposted story, and continued to make a big stink about it until it was removed and the account removed. THEN s/he created ANOTHER account and did the same thing! The user was even reposting other people's stories and RPF's, which aren't even allowed on FF.net. Fandom came to the rescue again and the account was deactivated.
Yeah, I've noticed the crickets over here... I've started to use Dreamwidth and just have my entries copied here, as well. Not sure why I use Dreamwidth. It's really not that different... 'cept with less active users, if that's possible. *sigh* Where did our community go?
Btw, what's a BNF?

Hmm, I remember that first part, now you say it -- but not that she made a second account, what?! I'd hoped she had apologised to your and the others and removed her account, but making another one to post the stolen stories again, just... what?! I'm so happy it was taken down.

Ya know, I think that's where a lot of people stopped using LJ. Remember a year or so ago when LJ was down for, like, two weeks or something? It was such spotty service no one could log in and actively use their accounts. I know that that was when I really dropped off of using LJ.
They complain about homework and siblings and parents who don't understand and I feel ancient at 26, lol.OMG I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. hahahahaha People talking about school and I'm trying to relate, going, "ooh, what's their major? I can talk to them about college horror stories" and then I find out that by "school" they meant high school. O_o I feel like there is a very slim margin of us users who are 25 years and older and therefore, can't relate. ...You know, I wonder if that's why Tumblr is so popular with the young 'uns. [okay i'm gonna start wagging my cane] I feel like the young generation of today have become more and more isolated, yet simultaneously crave popularity. They want people liking ( ... )
