BRINY! I am glad to see you dusting off your ol' account too!
And I think your feels are very close to identical to mine... I can't say a little part of me isn't rooting for Tumblr to fail, just because it's not been a good place for me in terms of actually... interacting with people... but also, I am pretty fond of it for what it's been for me until now, and it's really allowed me to feel connected to fandom even when I'm feeling my most insular and introverted, and for that I don't think I could have anything but mixed feelings if Tumblr does ultimately fall into the void/become an unusable ghost town.
But I've always been willing to pick up my stakes and move on when content that I think is important to fandom is being restricted, and now is no exception. At least DW is a known quantity at this point, and even without using it regularly myself, I feel quite comfortable picking up this style of interacting with people once again.
