I can't believe I've been using LJ for over ten years omg. I went through lots of period of inactivity in the last few years, mostly because many of my friends who used it in college a lot have moved on. I guess I didn't? I dunno. I've always used it to connect with other fans, though I never really got too into communities outside of icon making groups. Mostly I would find new friends with similar interests and we would do things like this, discuss amongst ourselves.

You can't really have these kinds of discussions on any other social media platform. Even most blogging sites, like Wordpress or Blogger, the comments are designed to be left, but you don't really see a lot of interaction between the blogger and commenter. And, of course, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr seem to promote a post it and move on sort of lifestyle.

I feel like this past year a lot of people have been coming back to LJ, those that know of it's power, and I'm happy to have an active flist again!
