Beyond Selidor

OMG I know, LJ was just my kind of place and thank God denise et al forked off DW and have put so much love and work into it, I just don't know what I'd do without all my friends here.

With Tumblr, a whole lot of making friends seemed dependent on leaving anon asks on or using their chat program when they had it, and I had e-stalkers for like a decade, so I NEVER had anon comments on for any social media account, and locked up most of them. Likewise Twitter seems to depend a lot on DMs and group DMs. And with Twitter, it wasn't my e-stalkers who got me in DMs but a very very strange woman who came into my dad's life near the end of it and just would not leave me alone. I just don't need people I don't know (or some people I DO know) feeling free to harass me that way. LJ and other places were pseudonymous (I still think of friends as their pseuds!) and anon comments were a thing there, but I turned mine off early and had plenty of interaction with people anyway.
