anghraineI know that we Dreamwidth proselytizers can be annoying, but I've seen takes on Tumblr that are like ... fine but it's not truly social, it doesn't have a culture, it's just LJ/a blogging platform without features for interaction!
...????????
Honestly, as someone who's been here since the LJ migration, the idea that there's no distinctive Dreamwidth "culture" is almost funny. Obviously there are different communities and parts of Dreamwidth that differ a lot from each other, but the idea that DW culture = LJ culture when so many people threw absolute tantrums over the differences in site culture between LJ and DW (many of which are quite real!) back in the day is pretty surreal.
I know that was a long time ago now, but Dreamwidth is not and has never been a neutral environment, lol.
