I Might Be Leaving Live Journal

Jun 04, 2022 10:24

First, I almost never come here any more. It was great for years, but there are so few friends here. Most are also on Dreamwidth. I don't watch Supernatural any more. The thing I'm saddest about is so many people have moved on to Tumblr.

I miss the long form discussions that used to be the norm here. But it seems too hard to write real entries. I miss the House fandom something awful. I'm not interested in the Discord fandom because it's mostly young people. Discord is hard to navigate. Plus, it really highlights how much fandom is transactional for the life of the show. I've been part of some great Discords. But when the show is cancelled, etc., the Discords die.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My photo albums are packed. Saving photos on Dreamwidth is a rip-roaring pain in the ass. Anyway, this is what is percolating. Months ago I stopped paying for an account.

It is so sad to say goodbye to all of the wonderful friends and communities I've been part of for all of these years. I think Nightdog and blackmare's deaths was the end of here for me. Without Nightdog's daily posts it's like the air went out of here.
