I really feel you there. Tumblr was the piece of social media I'd used the most consistently and for the longest, and it was the first place that really introduced me to fandom. I'm going to miss it, and dreamwidth is so different that it's really going to take some getting used to.
But, on the other hand, maybe that difference will be good. I took a pretty huge break from fandom because I was tired of the constant discourse, and it seems like dreamwidth both has a chiller community and isn't set up to facilitate viral discourse the way tumblr was. As interesting as the discourse could be at times, I think it will be good for me to get away from it.
New day, new place

So here's to new and discourse-free beginnings!
