Dec. 21st, 2018 12:23 pmSo... With all the new platforms popping up after Tumblr's recent explosion, Dreamwidth still looks like the most reliable and convenient one. I have a personal closed-access blog here, and I've never had anything to complain. So I guess this is the best place for me to have a more public one to post about my writing, the books I read and other (un)related stuff. I'll still be crossposting to / from Pillowfort, probably, since I mostly like that platform, as well. But you know, Pillowfort is still very much in beta while Dreamwidth is... well, not. :D Also, today I've been looking through the recent posts in the Pillowfort Beta Users community where a lot of users were asking for Tumblr-like features, and I thought idly if maybe I should ask for something, too. The list I came up with in my head went roughly like this:
...At this point I realized I probably shouldn't even bother posting this list on Pillowfort and just needed to go back to Dreamwidth, which already has all the features I love. :D So consider me posting it here a sort of a love letter to this site, for having all the things I find so comfortable and convenient for blogging and never see on those newer, more modern sites. Honestly, the only thing I lack here on Dreamwidth is a like button. That's just because sometimes I lack the spoons to write a proper comment, but I want to still show the author of a post I liked that I saw it and I had a good feeling about reading. Being able to "like" a post lets me do this, and I'll probably still come back to comment later. But that's literally the only thing I miss on Dreamwidth, as opposed to LOTS of things I miss elsewhere.
TL/DR: Thank you for existing, Dreamwidth. I'll be posting stuff here.
