I have a DW account and in fact I used to write there then postcross here, but I stopped doing that because this is here where I have a lot of contacts, in DW people hardly ever interacted with me.

That's a real problem at Dreamwidth--- there seems to be almost no interaction, and it seems to be difficult to look for people there.

My biggest beef with them is a seemingly tiny thing. I can embed google maps on livejournal, which I like to do to give context to my travelogue entries, that always comes out broken in dreamwidth and not fixable, they've disabled map embedding because apparently it doesn't work with mobile viewing. Which is really weird. Like, fine, let me deal with it being broken when viewed mobile at least make it work on a computer screen!

Well that and the no interaction. That probably is the real reason I don't just move there wholesale. but the broken embedded maps thing sure annoys me!!!

And it's hard to actually find new diaries at DW.

I told Gary tat I would love to participate, and start writing again, but I'm not going over to Dreamwidth to do so. Quite aside from writing them here, I odn't want to have to go over there to find out what the prompts are, how the voting is going, etc...

I need to write more, there's a lot to tell, but I'm not crossing the streams here. LJ is home.

DW is so not my place. I do back up there but most of my community is here and here I will stay until they kick me out. This place has been home for 15 years. Enough said.

IF it works out over there, I may rotate mini seasons. Or have regular seasons at LJ and special seasons at DW. The exodus pretty much split the numbers of "I'm going" and "I'm staying until the lights are turned out" evenly. I want to give people the chance to play but I understand the moral objections to LJ right now. (all of the Chechnya/Putin stuff)

As zhent said though "LJ is my home".
