So, I know this is absurdly

So, I know this is absurdly late, but I was just considering this as I was making an LJ post.

So, the majority of blogs we read are in and of themselves communities with commenters etc. and the author of the blog as the "dictator" as it were.

However, the real glory of LJ beyond just keeping your own blog and choosing who your friends are (with a friends list) is that it incorporates communities (generally around a certain topic be it a tv show, books, a school topic, a website, etc.) that people can join and post on in an almost public forum type of way. These communities also appear on your friends list and really are why I have stayed on LJ for so long/kept coming back.
