interactions and productive conversations form the expected baseline of what a lively dis coyote s link hub neat essay about comment culture jul 12 2026 pillowfort comment culture 2 notes q anonymous asked i don t know if it s just me being in small fandoms but fandom as a whole feels really lonely as of late people have split themselves up so much that they don t discuss things the way they did before they just kind of post their stuff and leave and half their audience consumes it like content there s no comments barely kudos the only places fans talk with each other anymore are on private discord servers that no one ever finds out about i don t know i m a bit of an old and i feel like i m screaming out into the void for no reason at this point sure somebody will like my stuff but will i ever get to know about it a queenofattolia curator on ao3 ao3commentoftheday i think about this kind of thing a lot anon and i think my generation gen x xillennial kind of did folks dirty a bit in our defense we didn t know we were i m an educator by profession as well as on this hobby blog and so i spend a lot of time thinking about how people learn things a lot of learning is social and a lot of it happens when parents teach their children when i was growing up pre internet my parents taught me how to talk to other adults in our community how to play with other children how to order food in a restaurant how to call a business and ask a question they literally walked me through how to do all of that stuff and more because those were daily skills in the world at that time we ve spent the last 20 years talking about how kids today are digital natives but have we spent enough time teaching kids how to keep a conversation going when you re not in the same room as the other person how to leave a comment on a post by a person you don t know how to show your appreciation to a content creator what a content creator even is and how that differs from a fan creator i know there are a lot of jokes out there about different things that would kill a victorian child but i think what would actually be difficult for them would be the lack of rules and instructions that kids today receive from the adults in their lives i don t have kids myself so maybe this is all just bullshit and i m talking directly out of my ass but a lot of the time when i notice someone doing something wrong it s because no one ever told them how to do it right i kind of suspect that might be part of what s happening in fandom these days combine the above with the fact that fandom got inundated with new members in 2020 during quarantine and lock downs and it s not surprising to me that a large percentage of the people in fandom today don t approach things the way that we used to before i don t fault them for it when fandom was smaller and the internet was new we used to take the time to bring people in but now it feels like everyone knows xyz so why does it need to be taught and with how fast things move it s more rare for newcomers to lurk for a while before they dive into everything this is a very long answer to a problem that probably just needed a listening ear but i hope what you take away from this is an understanding that you re not the only one who feels the difference i see this same experience shared in the notes on my posts all the time there is no easy fix for the situation and it certainly won t be fast to change but maybe if we mentor a bit more when we have the spoons to we can shift the culture a bit one fan at a time if you managed to get all the way to the end of this do yourself a favour and leave a comment on a fic or reblog a post with some chatty tags dm somemeone or tag them or send them an ask just to let them know you see them and you think they re cool even if nothing happens as a result you tried and maybe you just made someone s day demographically i have a fair amount in common with ao3commentoftheday with the exception that i am a parent and my oldest child has entered online fandom thankfully my child and i don t share fandoms we both prefer it that way but we did sit down to discuss how to maintain privacy and safety while also being friendly in online interactions i taught my child about fandom red flags and green flags from my experiences and my child has since asked for my advice in terms of my child s own fandom experiences and how to handle issues and concerns all that being said i was surprised and confused when my child informed me that my child had not been leaving kudos or comments on ao3 keep in mind this child would read longfics for days tell me how great the author s writing captured the characters etc why didn t you kudos or comment if the fic was so good i asked while my child explained lack of ability to comment due to fic restrictions my child has expressed not yet feeling ready to have an ao3 account even though my child is old enough and my husband and i would be fine with it my child said kudos didn t matter who cares about one kudos the author cares and if the author for some reason doesn t care i know you care about doing the right thing i think expressing appreciation for other people s fanwork is the right thing to do what do you think my child went back and kudosed all stories read to that point but i m just one parent and it s absolutely not the job of fandom to parent children there s an idea that the way we behave in real life is divorced from the way we behave online there s some merit to that in the form of maintaining privacy and boundaries online that might be different in person when we re talking about basic manners though golden rule stuff that s what s become lacking and i hope it improves i do think that a lot of this is just the result of a lack of lurk moar attitude in fandom the internet in general when i was a tween who first found fandom in the late 90s early 2000s people didn t explicitly teach me how to interact with fandom i lurked for a solid year before i signed up for my own account on the forum i d found i can still remember how the adrenaline coursed through me as i signed up for my own account i felt tingy and more than a little ill by that time i had a very good sense of social norms there i still made a few mistakes and the more established members smacked me down in a matter of fact but not unkind way but i d learned by watching hell by the time i started actively participating i knew all the inside jokes as op mentioned i don t think that people lurk anymore and my theory is that the rise of social media web 2 0 created a different approach to web communities today every site is presumed to be for every person the entire point of the really big social media sites is that everyone is on them this is one of the things i hate about them btw because it results in context collapse i do not want to talk to my third grade teacher my favorite cousin complete strangers and my fandom friends in the same voice but that s another issue whereas in web 1 0 the internet was riddled with niche sites communities you had to go out and find your place and sometimes it took a while once you found it you were invested in becoming a part of that specific community so you did the research lurking to find out how people interacted what all the unspoken norms were by the time you picked your handle and made your account you just knew stuff i m sure this was not true of everyone but it was true of far more people at the time people looked before they leapt there are many many reasons that i think that fandom has suffered from the web 2 0 environment the fact that creators writers actors and fans are all on the same sites using the same tags for general publicity and for fannish nonsense is a huge problem the way that sites are so big that people feel that their contributions as with kudos above don t matter is a direct result of the way social media undermines community and makes everything a performance of whatever your late capitalist brand is the fast pace of those sites makes people think that interacting with older posts is a bad idea the lack of filters of the kind that we had on livejournal where you could determine who saw what or even just the way that forums often made you join before you could see content created walls within which communities could grow think frost and walls making good neighbors i know we can t go back to the assumptions that operated before social media we have to explore other options i love when people make psas here telling people about fandom norms and history i think it s the best thing and maybe at this point that is the only way to handle it tumblr and ao3 are very weird sites in that they straddle the web 1 0 and web 2 0 kinds of internet from web 1 0 they get the lack of algorithms the way you have to make choices about what you see chronological arrangements and on ao3 lack of ads etc tumblr has a slightly slower pace than most social media ao3 has a much slower one from web 2 0 though you get scale centralization which is both ao3 s greatest strength and greatest weakness and the fact that it takes little effort to locate these sites anyone no matter their level of investment in fandom can just stumble on them so you end up having a lot of people who are not actually fannishly inclined aren t invested in a gift economy don t really understand that fandom is supposed to be fun don t really get the creative urge etc interacting with people who are fannishly inclined and it causes some really problems especially with younger people whose experience of the internet is as a venue to signify and perform certain kinds of morality coolness trendiness that are at odds with what fandom has always been about basically you have a bunch of normies clashing with a bunch of nerds obviously the normie nerd divide is a spectrum and not a binary so i m overstating but still when you have people who are coming to fandom from different angles some people who are coming to it as a provider of content just like all other media in their lives especially elsewhere online some people who are coming to it as a participatory hobby wherein we build community around shared affection for thing there s going to be lots of clashes and weirdness i kind of think that fans need to go back to create set apart spaces for fandom to happen note that i am not talking about gatekeeping everyone who treats others with respect would be welcome but just having fenced off areas that are explicitly for certain kinds of fandom interactions where we can basically have our party away from the normies but other nerds who are younger or just getting in touch with their nerdiness can find us i m not sure how we d go about doing it but i think smaller more intimate internet spaces are really necessary for fandom to be enjoyable for fandom to be fandom tbh may 30 2026 2 173 notes edgebug happy 20 year anniversary of neil

about making this outfit for my kermit for a while now but the proper motivation to actually get this done was hearing that cary elwes was announced as a guest for my local comic convention so with any luck dread pirate frogerts will be getting to meet the real westley very soon a shocking amount of work went into making this little outfit i completely underestimated the amount of time i would need to put all this together though a good chunk of that was me getting way too wrapped up in perfectionism ask me how many times i re did the smocking on the sleeves on second thought don t it s embarrassing here i thought i had been con crunching with piggy last year technically i only just finished kermit today and the convention starts thursday lots of internal and external screaming was had with this build i did film the majority of it with plans to turn it into a full video and reel in the future maybe once i ve had a chance to recoup from aforementioned con crunch apr 26 2026 14
