Imzy?

[owlmoose]

I joined yesterday, mostly to snap up my name and look around. Who else is there? How do you find people? Also I have invites, although I imagine that everyone who wants to be there has already joined by now. But if not, and you'd like one, let me know!

I gather it's based on Reddit structurally, which is an interesting idea for a community-based site, although I still think I like the DW-type platform better. Especially the ability to have an individual journal, instead of having to create a "community" for yourself (although I gather the personal journal aspect is coming?). Anyway, we'll see what happens. If it ends up being a viable replacement for Tumblr, I'm all for it.

I'm there, poking at it occasionally.

wtf is happening

It's the latest greatest new toy. Based on the architecture of Reddit without the terribleness. Fandom is starting to play with it, but who knows whether it will stick. If you'd like an invite to experiment, let me know.

Drakon sent me one - I guess I'm experimenting too!

I've asked another friend for an invite, and I'd like to poke around. I'm amused at how many people are like "oh god can we replace Tumblr".

[owlmoose]

Right? It's like we all desperately want to quit Tumblr but don't know how. :)

[lassarina]

I mean, I quit Tumblr a while ago but I'm aware I'm missing out on a substantial chunk of fandom (also, icon never more appropriate.)

LOL +1

I'd rather like to be able to be where the busy fandom is, but not be on Tumblr. XD

I love that most of my online circle is/was on Tumblr but they're like, "yeah, I'm tumblr but I'd rather...not?"

[lassarina]

I quit it years ago because the hassle (and time commitment) wasn't worth it to me. I've yet to decide if Imzy is, but at least I've camped my name.

I'm there under sqbr and have a personal blog at alias_sqbr. And so far I find people by posting about it on dreamwidth haha.

[owlmoose]

Heh! I am owlmoose of course, and I have joined your community. I look forward to there being actual personal blogs soon.

[alias_sqbr]

Actually that is how personal blogs work: as special kind of community only you can post in, with the "personal blog" tag. They've set it up to be more obviously connected to your profile now but I don't know how that works since it happened after I made mine.

I took a peek at it before and I scanned it again now. Since there's no way to see what sort of content is being posted there, I don't really feel a burning need to join. Without content, a social media site is just an interface.
