   Question 1, The platform Tumblr you described as having a range of communication features such as emoji reactions, pinned posts, multimedia uploads, comments and hypertext, why do you think these communication features are not used as much within this community compared to other communities and groups?

   Question 2, What does the platform blue sky implement that makes it a more desirable platform for MCU groups to form compared to twitter which was described as problematic and has a bad reputation? Is it personal preference or is there something that the platform features to make it more desirable to use for the formation of communities?

   Question 3, If users are not commenting and interacting actively with other users in the MCU fandom in the comment section are they still considered part of that community if they only follow accounts and like posts but don’t interact with others? Would you consider this user still a part of the MCU fandom?
