A little bit of both killed Costume Snark. People started leaving Live Journal for Facebook, so the costume communities that tended to generate posts that we talked about behind our closed doors were less active. And then I do remember a couple of members started objecting to every post and getting offended about things people were saying. Don't join a snark community if you get offended by people who are going to say not-nice things. We're here to let off steam, and we don't feel the need to be polite.
I do miss it though. I learned so much about what was historically correct for different periods by reading people's comments.
