Facebook is really not built to facilitate intelligent conversation, is it?

[randomness]

There's a conversation going on in a Facebook group I'm in that may someday become my personal Exhibit A for why Facebook is a terrible place to have any kind of substantive, meaningful conversation.

I'm not linking to it now because I don't need an Exhibit A at the moment. Moreover, pointing large numbers of people at the conversation who have no connection to the group will probably not be helpful.

I think that's going to be complicated by the mass exodus of fandom from LJ, for some combination of Dreamwidth (which I have an account on but don't regularly use) and Tumblr (which is a weird combination of awesome-for-fandom-related-images but irritating-for-responding-let-alone-threading). That having been said, I've actually met awesome people on Tumblr through shared interests, which is pretty cool.

I still wish more would come back to LJ though, I like it here even though I could list the problems with it.
