In your own space, opine on the future of fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
This can be positive, negative, ambivalent; about fandom as a whole, your own fandom(s), or your own plans. Alternately, what do you hope fandom will do? Imagine a best-cast scenario, and tell us what that would look like.
Optimistic. People will continue to be able to share their fan fiction, fan art, fan metas, etc in a way that that others will find an appreciate them.
More specifically for the Daria fandom; the PPMB may be slowly dying, but the Lawndale High board continues to be active.
Similarly for Star Trek; the TrebBBS has a similar level of activity to 'back to in the day', that being while Enterprise was still new on the air. (And elements of fandom being against something 'violating canon/continuity' sound the same whether they're talking about Enterprise, the Kelvin Timeline Movies, or Discovery.)
Twitter may fail or change into something unusable, but another space may be found. (Haven't joined Mastdon yet. Would anyone recommend it?)
The same applies to Tumblr. (But the way I use it hasn't changed much.)
