    I love tumblr for lurking, but never really found my footing there for interacting myself, the whole thing of tumblr (and twitter in a way) of having a page and followers and all that always felt a bit intimidating, i guess? I think that’s what i like the ost of forums like these or reddit. Just coming up and answering a post on a forum like this feels natural and on tumblr felt so out of pocket for me.

    I’m sure that a me problem and i’ll figure out , and it’ll probably be one those “oh, that looked much harder before” once i do figure it out, i’ll just start by talking to myself and see who i find.

      I agree. I like the idea of communities, rather than following specific people. I like the slight feeling of separation when it is community based. Both have their place, though.

      Oh for sure, on tumblr I interact pretty rarely - just like and reblog things. though I think I was on tumblr before there was fuss around changes to the reply system and I’d reply to posts occasionally (on smaller more personal chatty blogs) – but when I went back recently the reply system seems exactly like I remember so maybe they listened to their users whenever that kerfuffle happened!
