I really wish metaquotes hadn't descended into wanky lunacy a while ago. There needs to be an outlet for the hilarious things I find on LJ, and Metaquotes has been taken over and then gutted by whiners. Anybody know another community that's just funny?

Mostly it's defunctish now, but as for me, I stopped going thataway mostly because the funny posts gave way to flame wars and twit posts. I miss the snark. I figured that's why it dried up.

So many LJ communities I used to follow seem to have dried up. All the cool kids are on tumblr now, or something. (Which I would like to like, because I don't want to be That Annoying Luddite, but I still can't figure out how to use the thing for any sort of conversation.)

Eh, I'm fine being the Luddite. tumblr makes me feel like MySpace did, so I'll stick with the dinosaur blog site.

On the plus side, the signal to noise ratio has gotten pretty good as LJ quiets down. Less signal overall, but it's never buried.

That's true.

I'm with you. "Conversation" on tumblr seems to consist entirely of "so-and-so reblogged this".

You can reblog and add your own comment to the bottom of the post. It results in weird quotestacks and is not as smooth and easily usable as LJ-style commenting, though.
