Date: 2020-04-16 03:39 pm (UTC)I'm not saying that Dreamwidth (or spaces like it) were free of hostility and drama when they were the primary fannish spaces (*gestures at the entirety of Fandom Wank*). But I do think when things happen at a slower speed, it stops things blowing up into a complete frenzy immediately.
I'm of the opinion that if all three of my fannish wishes were implemented simultaneously it would do a lot to make fandom as a whole at lot calmer and more pleasant. It's the speed, immediacy (to actors/showrunners/writers, and to fans with opposing points of view) and sense of everyone being in a single space (whether that's Twitter or Tumblr) rather than off in our own little corners in comms, forums, or people's individual blogs that have combined to inflame things and create a more poisonous atmosphere.
(As an aside, can I also say how much I appreciate your comments on my posts for this meme. It's so nice to have someone engaging so thoughtfully with what I have to say!)
