general_radixCan you guess why I'm here? Can you friggin' guess?
It's too early to say if this will be the new anchor of my online presence, though I can say this much: after years and years of lurking on LJ and DW and following, like, one FFA thread, it feels weird (albeit not in a negative way) to finally get an account here.
(Disclaimer: I will probably not participate in FFA often.)
For all its faults, I really liked tumblr, the usefulness of its format, and its relatively non-insular nature (as opposed to forums and the king of insular hells, 4chumps); I made several friends there and shed a lot of high-school-era toxic mindsets by listening to other folks. I don't want to abandon that place entirely--a few of my friends are still staying there, after all--but the site's future is very much in doubt right now. I hate that it's come to this.
(In case anyone wants to bring up "THIS IS STRIKETHROUGH 2.0" here: one, I don't have the emotional energy to discuss that right now. Two, I despise pedoshit and firmly believe that the freedom of LGBT folks to write/talk about their lives and experiences should not be contingent on the toleration of pedophiles in their spaces. Sites like Pinterest have put hard bans on pedoshit and they haven't imploded yet; I think the real problem here is site-holders not respecting their user base enough to do it correctly.)
So...I'm RADIX. I'm very active in the Marathon fandom, so many of my fannish posts will be related to that and all the AU stuff I've made for it over the years. There will probably be many words on the latter in the near future, for the benefit of anyone who's meeting me here.
