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.

Btw, from my friend halotolerant: Etiquette on new platforms is hard! And people are all different! But just to explain a little if it helps: On DW you can 'subscribe' with or without 'granting access', so you can follow someone's feed but unless they grant you access you'll only see what they post publicly. (Also, you can manage different access lists with different levels of viewing privilege, and you can block people from all your entries - they can see them if they log out but won't be able to comment)."

I used to live on Livejournal, I expect it's much the same.

But the migration of posts from person to person, through no more relevant connection rhat that they all know at leadt one of the others... that's impossible to replicate without reblogging.
