ultimately this site has been an honest joy for me the last few years. yes it's slow. yes it still gets discourse waves now and then. but at least i feel like i'm talking to other human beings, you know? at least i'm able to see my friends' posts and vice-versa and people actually talk about things. where else am i gonna post a snippet of dragon tf romance and get actual responses to it? tumblr i got nothing until a really big mutual reblogged it, and then i got 12 likes and silence. twitter i got nothing (in part because i wound up posting it on my side furry account because i didn't want to deal with any weirdness from posting it on 'main', granted - that side account has 90 followers and most of them are spam bots. but here at least i don't feel a need to split it up at all).
i'm not looking for virality but at least if i post something here people i know will see it and people i don't know who would want to see it will probably see it.
