Back home at the old front porch
So there's a little bit of a movement afoot to get folks back on LJ for some old-fashioned posting at length and the kind of posting and discussion that just doesn't work very well on Tumblr and I'm all for it. Though I've certainly been part of the problem. Tumblr is just so easy - push the reblog button again and again and my blog is covered in smutty fanart and funny cat gifs. (No one's disputing that Tumblr excels at those forms). And there's always so much new to look at. Participating on LJ takes more work, because you actually have to have something to say. Which I often do not.
The worst things about Tumblr is that long conversations are impossible to read and follow for very long, especially because of the way they branch out. Ugh. And the lack of privacy settings irks me too. We're raising a whole internet generation who think "friendslock" is a Sherlock AU where all the characters are witty, quippy 20somethings living in improbably spacious Manhattan apartments. I love Tumblr. But there are still alternatives.
So Happy Solstice everyone! Writing recap next post.

I've been slowly drifing more and more offline, and I hate it - but laziness all to often wins out. And like you, I often feel as though I have nothing to say. But not posting doesn't help, it only lets friends drift away, and I don't want that!
