But for whatever reason, the fandom-related discourse in both of those places is really, really annoying.
I agree--I'm spending most of my fannish time on Tumblr now, and it's extraordinarily awkward to have a simple conversation with someone! It's as if the Tumblrbots attempted to make it as technically difficult as possible to do so; the reply/reblog/comment features are always changing, and it's borderline impossible to find where conversations began through the chain of reblogs. Twitter is similarly somewhat technically byzantine and certainly not conducive to in-depth discussion. I haven't yet found a platform to match the ease with which LJ facilitates fannish conversation, I admit.
