hooked on phonics progress: 69%
Mar. 13th, 2021 05:16 pm I'm working on cleaning this theme up and personalizing it a bit, I was too excited / in a rush last night to sit down with the markdown and polish everything the way I want to. I think I'm getting more of the gist of what Dreamwidth is and how it operates, though, and I gotta say, I'm like... really into it, to be honest.
I love doing long-winded metas and threads, that was what I kind of like... made my reputation on back on Tumblr, so the concept of having a platform where I can just write and structure that however I want, without the pressure of having to cut it at a certain point, is really enticing. I like how laidback and chill everything is, too, and how it's not so in-your-face about metrics and numbers and engagement algorithms(and ads).
There are certain more niche aspects that I'm squinting at, though, like icons: are icons like, moodlets? Or like proto-memes? How does that work? Like... what social purpose do they serve? What do you do with them?
