I am by no means advocating for fandom to remain static, and fandomsecrets incidentally is one of my favorite fandom places. Perhaps you're right about my looking backwards for commonalities, but the commonality I see is that a recognizable space, or thing, called fandom exists. Whatever fen are doing in that space.
I think I've stated as clearly as I could my pov on the issues in the comment you responded to, so I don't have to repeat things here. All that's left to say is that I hope I'm wrong, I hope my concerns are unfounded, and I hope, with the aid of the nature of the internet, fandom is not biting off more than it can chew vis a vis everything else outside of fandom.
