*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Testing 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.

Yay! Hi! Welcome to Dreamwidth.

Bandwagon: successfully jumped on!

EXCELLENT. Dreamwidth is much better places. (It is always fun though because I want to abbreviate it DW and then I end up talking about Doctor Who and Dreamwidth in the same post and oh the confusion.)

Haha yes, I figured it was well past time to join the DW party, having already joined the other DW party quite a while ago.

added you! I suppose I'll surely but slowly make this place my default, although I do find it a bit confusing still. Shallowly, all the ugly stylistic changes lj has made has really turned me off of it.

I kind of love it, even if activity is pretty slow; it is a lot like pre-suckitude LJ, if they had continued to not suck and had worked on giving us all the nifty features we actually wanted instead of V-gifts and Twitter integration and ugly comment pages.
