I used to rant about Discord shutting away so much fruitful fandom discussion and recs, but I‘ve since joined and am enjoying the semi-privacy.
It depends a lot on the server. When you're invited to a limited-access server the semi-privacy makes sense; with a public server everything can be read by anyone at any time (and without a trace) and lost in half a second, which is... something.
communities which are accessible without having a Dreamwith account.
Meaning communities that accept anonymous posting? (I'm trying to understand also to make an attempt myself).
Still, if you don‘t know Dreamwidth exists, like I‘m guessing a lot of younger people don‘t know, you will not find those resources.
It's very difficult for me to say whether we are just a dream of the past (no pun intended) or if there will be a new wave of younger people. In the end, it's good that it's a "niche" platform (it would fall into all the other problems if it wasn't).
