Okay, I posted this a couple of places, but! In response to the Livejournal TOS, I have like 400% cleaned up and dusted off my Dreamwidth account, which hasn’t even been idle, I’ve even been originating posts there, but still. It’s all shiny and buffed now.<\/p>\n

Basically fuck yeah http:\/\/solarbird.dreamwidth.org<\/a> is what I’m saying.<\/p>\n

It is freakish<\/eM> to be on an LJ-style site and see stuff just… happening<\/em> everywhere. Do you know how long it’s been since I said “jfc my friendslist is busy”? DO YOU? Okay, about two hours, but I mean before that.<\/p>\n

I went and played a short round of Overwatch at 11:30pm. When I came back there were like five new posts. And a bunch of comments. And two friends requests. From strangers. Which were not bots.<\/p>\n

I wrote a Fascist Watch newsletter starting around midnight. More new posts. Another friends request. Comments.<\/p>\n

It’s not 2004 anymore, but it sure as hell isn’t 2015 either.<\/p>\n

Basically, I think what’s happening is that all the scattered people who were still actually using LJ, plus<\/em> all the people who weren’t but were kind of serious about going back to it at some point, are the ones actually migrating. And they’re all going to the same place, and they’re all looking for everybody else moving over. (Particularly in this community<\/a>, which was set up when all this started happening.)<\/p>\n

One thing I’ve said many times in running shows: an overstuffed smaller room completely beats a half-empty larger room. And what I mean is: for energy. Of the crowd, of the show.<\/p>\n

Dreamwidth is smaller than LJ. Post-migration Dreamwidth – even including the active people there already – will most likely still be smaller than LJ was even four months ago. At least, on the Latin-character-set side.<\/p>\n

But it’s a smaller room. You look out, you don’t see lots of empty seats and tweet repost botjournals. You see people trying to figure out where they are, and get set up. And going, “..uh… hi!”<\/p>\n

It’d be hilarious if the long-considered (and oft-mocked) Livejournal revival actually happened – but on Dreamwidth. And entirely and only<\/em> because Livejournal finally augured itself in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
