So I tried curating my Tumblr experience, because at its best Tumblr gives the same community feeling and opportunity of discovery as LiveJournal at its peak. I went only to a handful of blogs that I knew had been created as an escape, blogs by people who clearly thought twice before posting personal opinions.

...and then the CEO quietly sold everybody's artwork and conversations to a pattern sorting and recombination software company.

Farewell, Tumblr.

Edit, a year later: So it turns out that actually getting a Tumblr login and employing the block function with great abandon? Fixes the problem.

Not sure how long Tumblr is going to be available, though, so I am also posting here.
I used to be active at LiveJournal. I used to gleefully join in at Fandom Wank. I had a Reddit account. It's been the same Net handle since the days of GeoCities; if you see a Jenny Islander post somewhere on the Wayback Machine, it's probably mine. (Yes, even the embarrassing ones...)

But I'm kinda. Out of practice? I nuked my Reddit account. Fandom Wank was suddenly eaten by a moose. LJ...yeah. Yahoo Groups...yeah, that too.

So...watch this space? I guess?
