It's interesting watching the social networks reform themselves on DreamWidth. I'm somewhat surprised that the first one I'm seeing reform en masse is the BOFHs. Many of whom I lured to LJ in the first place. Though the bi-polys are catching up.

redcountess is out seeing Coraline with Neil Gaiman doing a talk.

It's a lovely evening! I just took Freda down the shops.

One day we will have a toilet that doesn't have an infinitely deep gateway to the underworld in the floor.

One thing I don't quite understand - er, well, *why*?

I have a VOX a/c I never use. I have Blogger IDs and so on, just for commenting, tho' OpenID is making that less & less necessary.

But what's the point of yet another LJ-codebase blogging site? Between LJ, Vox, DeadJournal, GreatestJournal, etc. etc., I see no actual use in the extras...

Because I can and everyone else is, mostly. Dual posting to LJ saves me from actual effort. (Much as my non-response tweets go to Facebook automatically.)

I posted a long message about this to alt.poly which is probably a better answer, but the short answer on the non-technical side is http://www.dreamwidth.org/legal/diversity.bml and they really mean it.

The short answer on the technical side is that they're actually running an open source project in a meaningful way.
