I think what I'm already missing from tumblr(before I've even left) is the multiple levels of effort and interaction it provided.



Top level - create a new post.

Next level down - reblog a post, with commentary.

Below that - reblog without commentary.

Tiniest bit of visible interaction - hit that heart and like a post.

Lurking passivity - just read.



I expect I'll get back into the habit of how livejournal worked, but it's a bit jarring to now only have post, comment, and read to choose from.

I feel this so strongly!
I'm a lurker and it took me about 2 years to figure out tumblr etiquette.
But I also wanted to make friends, or have people to talk to. I'm an internal squee-er and slow on social interaction, so this comment is actually totally out of character for me.
But I've learnt that I need to interact to be able to - interact. It just doesn't come naturally for me, yet.
