Personally I'd rather stay, since I have never even heard of Dreamwidth before this psa lol. But since it's unknown whether this problem will be fixed, if ever, I think it's a good suggestion.
One thing that might make the transition easier, if it becomes needed, is to make a dummy account first on Dreamwidth and see how it works and what differs from LJ. That way, people who want to stay with the meme but are unfamiliar with a new site can move more easily.
I'd rather stay, honestly. LJ can be a douche, sometimes, but I'm not really comfortable with Dreamwidth. I'm sorry for the lack of good reasons, but it's easier for me to check on LJ than on Dreamwidth. :/
With this opportunity, I also want to thank you for creating this meme! :D
Even though I would love to say 'yes' to mass walkout on lj (it seems a lot of other groups are talking about the same thing), I'm not so sure about Dreamwidth. I created an account and added the drrrkinkmod to my circle, whatever that means, but when I went to post on the comment I noticed something. They log ip addresses! Not cool.
Other than that it seems to work in much the same way as lj so if it happens at least it'll be a smoother transition. Probably lose a lot of people though :(.
(mod too lazy to log in) as of right now, it seems that people want to stay on lj due to the fact that we're all used to it! the only problem is that people aren't used to other sites besides lj, so it's difficult to transition without losing people lol
also, it logs ip addresses because i didn't turn the option off~
Move. Please? It doesn't seem like it will get better, and apparantly the owners of LJ don't care about their userbase anymore. And right now Dreamwidth has open registration. Though not for long. Seriously, I don't think we have an option after I read stuff on Fandom!secrets.
lmao um sorry about taking drrrkink on DW - I am more than happy to give you access to it as an admin (since it's a comm iirc) so it can be used for full meme purposes, if that makes things better/easier/whatever!
I would love to see it move just because i'm sick of LJ's shit and the more momentum we get making the transition, the more people will move following that (if that makes sense). in a way we are lucky since LJ durarara!! fandom is so centered on the meme and we have more of a packaged, transportable fandom than something deep-entrenched and sprawling like supernatural or something.
(and fwiw I've staked out russia_sushi on DW too so no matter where you go we'll be there to update!)
I don't mind it moving either, since the majority of lj users are moving as well, but some people who only use lj for the meme don't feel comfortable as of right now to movin), since they like the familiar site of lj (though it may not be familiar for long haha_. We'll stick it out for a while to see how much lj really likes it's users lol.
and thanks for the work on russia_sushi, we've appreciated the time and effort you all put into updating it ♥
