As Livejournal continues its sad decline, it becomes paradoxically a bit easier to pick out the posts that got the most engagement over the year.
The biggest by far was my Brexit post on 31 January, which I had been brewing for three and a half years.
The second biggest was my full Hugo details post, which I was able to get done a bit more promptly thanks to being a deputy administrator this year.
Only two posts got more than five comments, my review of Titus Groan with eight:
and my review of a fascinating paper on Tolkien (which has been withdrawn from publication, unfortunately):

The Tinder article interests me because I kind of want to go up to the author and go ‘have you no friends you could ask?’ Because I don’t think I’m particularly well-connected and if I was going somewhere for a holiday I’d just put up a Facebook post, and get my friends to suggest places to go, but I don’t know if that’s because I’m a lot happier than the author going to places/things on my own.
