i have been whining about a friends lock option on tumblr since i migrated there from livejournal back in like... 2010/2011, so maybe just writing any friends-lock-worthy posts here is the move? we'll see!

having all the fun little options like icons and moods etc. again is fun!

I really love the idea of having different levels of access! I think on LJ you were able to have like, different groups of people too? IIRC

[grimweather]

yes, i think you're right! you could make custom friend groups!!

[griefabyss]

I wonder if that's possible on here? I haven't read the FAQ or anything yet

River I would LIVE for your F-locked posts omg. It does feel really good to have a posting space that's somewhere between the whole wide internet and like a Discord chat and I'm also excited to utilize that

[grimweather]

get ready for snark lmao!!! but legit i might put that here... no privs on bluesky or tumblr makes it hard 😔

i agree actually! posts in discord are a little too ephemeral (i feel like i stole that phrasing from someone?) and the privacy + option to tag/organize posts here is nice! #mymlisdegree (my program actually made us start wordpress blogs so lol)

lol yes we had to make wordpress blogs for my program too! A real "I was born into the darkness, you merely adopted it" moment. There were SO many times I wanted to use AO3 or Tumblr as examples for like taxonomy, search, etc. but I was like oh no they simply cannot know....
