It's amazing to me how a little bit of age difference makes a difference in what we feel nostalgia for re: the internet. For me, it's Livejournal. That was the place. It was where creativity and community collided perfectly. I really don't know why people left it, to be honest. I mean, I do. I remember the exodus first to MySpace and then to Tumblr, but I didn't understand then (and don't know either) what those platforms brought that Livejournal didn't. Both of them seemed to bring so much LESS to me. Anyway, Steemit is the closest thing to Livejournal I've seen. And you can make money with it. I'm digging it. (Though I do wonder how Steemit can best leverage fandom. I think if they can get fandom over here, it would go gangbusters. But profit and fandom has always been a pretty dangerous combo, so maybe it's not possible.)
