Hello, hello!

Let's check ot these next two questions:

9. Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

I'm gonna extend "tumblr" to all social media. I'm trying to think of fandoms where this happened for me, because I have the feeling it's happened before, but I can't think of any right now. I get why this would happen, though. People can be very annoying with ship wars and the like, and harassing people over this, which can ruin your fandom experience. What often happens to me is I don't interact with fandoms if I see they're like that, and I might avoid starting a canon for the same reason.

10. Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.

Extending "tumblr" to all social media again! To be honest, I usually have the opposite of FOMO: if everyone's talking about it, it starts to annoy me and I have no interest in it. I don't know how weird this is, but it's true!

You're so right! Twitter, in particular, is very drama-oriented. I feel like Tumblr used to be different, but it's gone to hell as well eventually. Oh, well.

I can't thank you enough for all your ideas and links regarding improving community and dealing with fandom drama!

Indeed, they used to be different. See "enshittification."
