Does anyone still use this thing? I have been informed that fandom has Moved to Tumblr so I moved too but since I don't really make gif sets, I'm not entirely sure what to do there.

This situation is not helped by work being stupid, my commute being lengthy, and my niece and nephew being super adorable and interesting.

So what up, LJ?

Well. Snoopy. :)

I feel like I spend so much time on my work computer, I don't even want to look at my computer when I get home. If I can't do it on my phone, it doesn't happen.

I post on dw and it's echoed here. Still skim to see what people are posting, though I've been too overwhelmed this year to post much. I can't really engage with Tumblr and (very) occasionally check relevant tags at this point.

At least you have time to read/listen to books on Audible on your commute? Theoretically?

That is pretty much what is keeping me on the Metro, despite SafeTrack closures and things occasionally being on fire. (As they were the other day. I went to the next station up.) I have been doing a lot of reading on the Kindle app, even though a lot of it has actually been non-fiction. I don't even know, yo.

Like kerithwyn, I'm posting to DW and echoing here. I have time to post, but I'm not very good at it. :(

I use tumblr as well, but not a huge fan of the interface. It makes conversations very hard, though it does make finding new people a bit easier.

I generally do the posting to DW and echoing here, but LJ has an app for my phone and DW does not (unless you know something I don't) which is why I ended up posting here.

There are aspects of tumblr I like a great deal (gif sets of Chris Evans with no shirt...) but I agree that it's difficult to hold a conversation. Everything feels very surface.

I'm still around! Well xposting from DW mostly, but I read LJ still. Tumblr isn't really working for me.

My most successful attempt at Tumblr was posting sloths into James McAvoy pics (that one still gets new followers, over 7500 now, though I stopped posting there years ago, compared to my normal Tumblr which has 27...), but that kind of thing is just not how I engage with fandom normally.

Hi! I was mostly crossposting from DW too, but unless someone points out a DW app, I can post to LJ from my phone, and that's usually what I'm looking at. (I am just done with computers by the time I get home from work.)

I immediately went and googled "James McAvoy with sloths" because that EXACTLY the point of Tumblr. I mean, for me.

For you and many others. It's the quintessential Tumblr-suited content, lol. And obviously I like that kind of thing in fandom too, or I wouldn't have posted so many. It wasn't just curiosity. It's just not everything I want in fandom.

Still here!! Mostly as a lurker bc posting from my phone is a huge pain. But here! And happily reading and commenting!

[smittywing]

Hey you! I know where to find you most days. :) Agreed, I would post more if there was a DW app that I could crosspost from. But lo there is only the LJ app and it's kind of meh.
