Lurking is one of the things (other than images, obviously, which are hilariously easier to post on tumblr than on DW) that I think is going to make a big difference to any Tumblr user trying DW. I'm a chatty person who tends to not mind jumping into conversation threads (as you see XD ) but it's above comfort level for a lot of folks on Tumblr who are used to interacting silently via likes.

On the other hand, I have a personal theory that stepping out of that comfort zone and engaging with people would be a good thing, but on the yet another hand I can see what a barrier to entry it is.

Anyway, I'm glad this conversation is happening. Thank you for getting the ball rolling on this, regardless of how tumultuous it gets at times <3
