Or are you like me and (for the most part) don't?

I have one community which is on Discord I take part in on occasion. It's nice with the occasional fandom event, like my upcoming rarepair week. Yet I don't have a lot of places where I can talk about my preferences for my fandoms outside of the comments on my fics.

I thought about Tumblr once too, but the instant I made an account I couldn't see half the accounts I'd been eyeing when not logged in. As I wanted it mainly to like fanart and the like, the fact I couldn't leave likes/reblogs/comments made me give up on it immediately.

No one else I know with Tumblr has a problem with it though. Despite people also calling it a hellsite, it seems most people are using the term with affection. (Or maybe for lack of a better site?) I don't know. If you decide to sign up, I'd be interested in hearing how you find it.

๐Ÿ˜‚ So long as it's a better Hellsite than Twitter, I'd be happy. The only thing I'm wondering about it is whether it will suit me as I don't do original or fan art - all my creative stuff is writing. I guess I'll see how it goes.

Odd re not being able to see a bunch of accounts. Sounds like a weird glitch!

I'm starting to understand the affectionate hellsite attitude. Although I feel like I'm in the honeymoon phase with Tumblr right now & this comment is going to bite me in the ass in a month's time when it turns out it's an actual hellsite.
