I go by woodenactor on tumblr, though I didn't really post much of anything that really, like, interfaced with rationalist ideas there. I'm hoping that I use this moment of communal change as an opportunity to make myself be more active.

Hi, everyone. I haven't been active on tumblr in a while, but maybe with a non-hellsite place I'll rediscover social blogging.
Some highlights from my old tumblr under the cut.
( Read more... )I'm logicalabsurdity on Tumblr and I've never explicitly called myself rationalist(-adjacent) on that platform, but I have on Discord (same username as here) and I've decided to be more open about being in the ratsphere on this new platform. Well, new-ish; I moved from LJ to here and then in 2012 to Tumblr, but I didn't post from 2014 to this Monday and hid all my old posts so it's sort of new.

Dec. 6th, 2018 09:40 amhey folks I'm spiralingintocontrol on Tumblr. do not know if I will actually leave the Tumbles. most likely not at least for a while.
I'm willing to try basically anything but tbh the interface for Dreamwidth is so bad that I'm not super optimistic? for example -- afaik there is no way for me to do things on mobile?
buuuuut I'm here, so, we'll see what happens

Dec. 6th, 2018 05:27 pmI'm unknought on Tumblr.
I'm still planning to mostly just be on Tumblr for the immediate future, but I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that as a platform Dreamwidth is probably better suited for what I want from social media than Tumblr is, clunky interface notwithstanding. So the community here might not need to get especially large and active to be enough to motivate me to make the switch.

Welcome and a question
Dec. 6th, 2018 05:56 pmWelcome to Dreamwidth y'all. I hope you can figure it out. I know different paradigms can be hard; Tumblr's website never kept me for very long, apparently it was meant to be used by app? Whereas DW is pretty much exactly opposite. Apparently there are mobile-friendly themes (Practicality / Neutral Good?) which maybe the community could use? I dunno, I've used LJ/DW for years, but never dived into themes.
Question: what does 'rationalist' mean to you? I joined because it sounded promising when a friend mentioned it, but I haven't been plugged in.

Dec. 6th, 2018 06:11 pm I'm evolution-is-just-a-theorem. Obviously. I don't think Dreamwidth is a viable tumblr replacement and we should avoid moving here until all other options have been exhausted.
