Dreamwidth?

[pasithea]

So... How is dreamwidth? It looks like it has the one feature that's kept me from going to other journaling systems (IE a way to do some legacy updating to my LJ and not require a lot of hassle for people wishing to comment.

Mostly just curious although I have so little traffic on my LJ these days that I don't think moving would be a big issue.

Yet another flavor of the day, which will either be not expanded, updated, or disappear randomly. Of course, friends lists and whatnot won't work across them, but... Why not insanejournal? Or whatever the one was before that? Hopping from random startup to random startup, demanding no metrics be taken or aggregates be perused, being a drain upon investments everywhere.

Ugh. I'm about ready just to ditch the whole idea of personal journals, despite the enriching it does to my life because of the lack of business model.

Can you not pan it until you've at least researched it? This one does actually have cross connectivity with LJ, imports comments, etc. LJ was once an untried technology too geez. You could have argued for Blogspot or wordpress or blogger. I'm interested in seeing what else is out there and it doesn't cost me anything to try.

I don't care about their technology. I care that they're not paying their employees based upon what they take in, but what promises they've given to investors, who can pull the plug whenever they want.

Hence not caring what brand, none of them manage that.
