Yeah, the worst thing about Tumblr for me is that it's just so terrifyingly public. Even a public post on LJ/DW is reasonably unlikely to be discovered by anyone outside my friends circle. On Tumblr, all bets are off; you could get 3 notes on a post, or you could have it dissected by everyone in the whole damn fandom.
I actually haven't found it TOO difficult to stay in the squee parts of tumblr, mostly by sticking primarily to gifsets. Unless the gifmakers editorialize in text underneath (... I hate that), gifsets are largely shaped by the context of the show, so it's really just like rewatching a scene in the show over and over, and following gif sideblogs has managed to keep me away from the more toxic elements, for the most part. The meta, though. AUGH.
