Non-fannish friending

[cosmolinguist]

I haven't made any new friends from the Tumblr influx yet (I've heard them called "Tumblr migrants" and "Tumblr refugees" and would like to discourage the use of those. If you need a noun, I saw "Tumblrweeds" and I love that (not because they're weeds! it's just a good pun), so you can use that) but I have already noticed more and more substantial posts on my reading page in the last few days, just from peopel I already know, so that's been nice. And welcome back to those of you who are breathing life back into your DW after a while, for whatever reason.

I might make some new friends anyway because I've gotten around to filling out angelofthenorth's non-fannish friending meme, as a bit of a reaction to the fannish nature of a lot of the Tumblrs, especially those at risk from the stupid new rules. angelofthenorth asked some great questions there, and I look forward to having enough brain to read the many answers before mine and see if I might be a good new friend to any of them. Feel free to try it yourself if you're interested.

My own increased activity is unrelated, but I agree, it's nice to notice more folks on here.

(<3s for all your increased activity, btw)

I'm still super excited at how much new life is being breathed into DW, new people to get to know and it's a little overwhelming when I look at my reading page though. Yikes.

It is okay not to want any (more) new friends too. :)
