Speaking for myself, what LJ was in the old days was a privately moderated forum. It was having a salon or house party over which you set the rules of discourse. It was one step more accessible than a printed zine and a couple steps less universal than a usenet group (I guess reddit is the usenet of today?) plus arguably more permanent than fan email lists (which may or may not have had web archives).
