I was thrilled with the turnout for Oz Magi, especially when I saw that several older fans had returned for it. But then the recent Oz Drabble Tree didn't get much action, and that bummed me out again.
SO MANY PORN BOTS on tumblr! When I first created the Oz Fandom tumblr account, I'd just automatically follow back anyone who followed it, because I thought it was the polite thing to do, and I was hoping to there were new Oz peeps out there who I hadn't met yet. Then I started taking a closer look... ugh. I bet 80% of its followers now are bots.
(I noticed that a lot of the Russian bots here who have been"liking" posts are strikethroughs now, so I guess LJ is at least paying attention to the situation.)
I do like certain aspects of tumblr. So many wonderful gif sets. And kittens! But a true sense of community and the discussion aspect of fandom just aren't there, even among people I've known for years from my earliest days on LJ. And that's what I really miss.
