DW has no financial interest in keeping me staring at DW for as many minutes as possible Exactly! DW is basically just a straightforward journal with limited engagement capacity focused purely on communication (simple commenting and DM system), which is a breath of fresh air. I completely skipped the Livejournal phase back in the day, so I'm still a little starry eyed about it having come from social media platforms like Tumblr and Twitter lol.
I think for the most part late comments are very welcome, but knowing that, I still convince myself I'm too late, all the time. Ahhh this is my biggest mood! Why do our brains recognize that for other people it's totally chill, but when it comes to us we're like, "But no..." People are absolutely fine with late responses to comments for the most part, and generally just appreciate the effort and the actual engagement. Brains are very silly and I'm trying to get better at chilling out on this particular thing lol.
I love the extensive, thoughtful exchanges I have here and on AO3, but there's definitely a place for chatting alongside that, for more regular, casual contact with people. This is something I haven't had in years, so it's a bit of a culture shock and I'm still acclimating. I love it too, though! We can really dig in on here and on AO3. 😊
My kingdom for a functional DW mobile app. Even an ugly one, I don't mind! You took the words right outta my mouth LOL! Maybe, one day... dreamy sigh
