merripestin It finally occurred to me that instead of just thinking, "Hey, why does it seem half of livejournal has moved to dreamwidth and I'm left behind," I could, y'know, get a dreamwidth account. And it has more icons! and will autocrosspost to LJ too !! How long has this been going on?
Of course, I've been a bit overwhelmed already by all the social media options, so adding another may not actually be good for me. Mostly on twitter I complain about my attempts to podfic, and on tumblr I heart things and occasionally repost if I have a comment, and I use other platforms in my other personae (i.e. Employable And Not At All A Porn Writer Girl).
What I love about the journaling platforms is that they do comments properly, which for most things makes a lot more sense to me than reblogging.
On the other hand, the heart/like/+1/kudos thing is faboo for me because so often I just want to express, "I read this and it was cool and interesting but I don't really have a contribution." Once I start writing words that are for somebody else, I get worried about them, even if it's just one sentence, and I end up redrafting and redrafting and it's completely absurd and then I give up. It's horrendously embarrassing the number of comments I have spent fifteen minutes writing and then never actually left.
So, trying this. See how it goes.
