So should I just delete my Tumblr, or...

It's been a few days since I even logged in over there and I...don't miss it? I never really understood its appeal beyond sharing memes and pictures. I honestly feel like I might start 2019 off better if I just get off it entirely. Certainly it would be better for my social anxiety.

It might be good for you, if you're gut's telling you that. Tumblr, for me, is mostly a platform for spreading the word about fic etc that I'm writing. That's mostly why I'm there. As a social media platform proper it's very limited in terms of communication and community, imo.

Yeah, that was mostly what I was trying to use Tumblr for, but it didn't seem to be working that way. Plus, the people I was finding on Tumblr didn't seem to be the same people who were reading my stories on AO3 anyway. As a social media platform...yeah. I hated that I had no control over what posted when, what I could delete and whether I could ever find anything or know when something was posted (time is meaningless there). It's possible I just never figured out how to use it properly.
