*tap tap* Is this thing on?
Feb. 3rd, 2012 19:30Testing Dreamwidth cross-posting, since I finally got around to importing my LJ entries. If all goes well I'll be doing this for all entries in the future--though fear not, comments on the LJ version of the post will stay enabled, and I'll still be reading my LJ flist.
Why the shift to Dreamwidth? Because it's nifty, its general ethos reminds me of pre-buyout LJ, I have vague and aimless plans to play around with their development environment, and LJ has been going down the tubes lately. No outrage over specific incidents--though that comment-page redesign sure is an eyesore--I just realized at some point that every part of LJ except the journals themselves has started feeling like Facebook and that DW's site pages all feel oddly like home. (And I guess by "home" I mean "LJ circa 2004.") Might as well adopt Dreamwidth as a base of operations, even as campaigns continue in the Livejournalian theater.
