I wish DW had a "read this user's other comments/discussions" feature.

Like, okay, I pretty much followed zenolalia here from Tumblr b/c they're Like Super Good At The Words Y'all, and I'd enjoy seeing more of their comments/thoughts, but outside of skulking on their read page and/or following the same communities, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to find that stuff.

I also noticed this reading the community updates at DW_news -- bunch of people making insightful commentary that runs a different rate than their original content.

(Having said that, I understand that a feature like that would prolly be too easy to exploit for harrasment, I'm simply Forever Starved for chances to watch smart folks talk amongst themselves.)

(Like I'll talk to myself a lot, sure, but talking in a crowd ain't the same, so I freeze.)

(Bad communication skills: 1 Van: 0)

I do think that as we start to see community discussions crop back up, it'll be easier for you to find discussions to read. It'll just take time as we re-migrate away from Tumblr.

Fair. I don't follow a ton of communities yet, either.

All this hitting at a time when people are by and large busy with other things is also slowing the rate at which we're Getting Back To Business

Absolutely. I've been wanting to be on here more but I'm just so tired. I'm also now torn between the new stuff I was working on, and trying to back up/import old stuff. Bleh.
