Do you have an account on Dreamwidth?

Do you have an account on Dreamwidth? Can I friend you over there?

The latest news from DW (in a nutshell, trolls from hate groups are threatening actions to shut them down based on accusations of hosting child porn...*sigh*) is discouraging, but I love the calm, rational way they're handling it. It is in marked contrast to LJ's hysterical kneejerk commercial forelock tugging a couple of years ago under the same stresses, and it reminds again me that I'd really like to get more of a community going there.

So, if you're on DW and wouldn't mind my adding you to my reading/connection page, would you let me know in a comment?

I'm DarkEmeralds there, if you'd like to add me to your reading list.

I'm blueraccoon over there, should you feel so inclined.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've added you, and my little circle of friends over there is expanding!

Now if I could figure out the whole cross-posting thing...

[blueraccoon.livejournal.com]

:) I crosspost everything. it's not hard to set up - I use the web interface. Just go to "Organize", then go to "Manage Account", and click "Other Sites". You'll be able to add this account and set to crosspost by default.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That was simple.

Of course, because all the service and cleverness and user-friendliness is on the DW side, this means I'll need to start posting by default on DW, and it will crosspost here on LJ, right?

[blueraccoon.livejournal.com]

You are exactly correct.

[serenity-valley.livejournal.com]

I'd love to be on your reading list, if you'll have me. You're on mine. Don't write much over there, but like you, would love to be more involved in a community over there to have reason to be active.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Done! I thought I had already added you.

Your icon cracks me up every time I see it.

[serenity-valley.livejournal.com]

:) Thank you. I love that show.

And thanks for adding me back. I figured you either a) thought you already had, or b) wanted to keep your DW journal private. Didn't want to bug you about it in case b) was the reason.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Nah. If I did anything on DW, it was more by accident as I fumbled around.

blueraccoon just explained to me how to crosspost, so I think I shall start doing that--it seems like a rational step toward shifting over to DW.

[lambourngb.livejournal.com]

Add away! I'm trying to get back into the swing of posting, but alas work, barn, and the 10 million shows I watch eats a lot of time. I'm lambourngb at DW. Will add you in just a sec!

ETA *blush* I see we're already acquainted over there! *head desk* I'm going to get another cup of coffee and try and reboot the brain.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Yup, you're in my circle. I must learn the DW terminology!

And now to begin posting more over there!

[merrymaia.livejournal.com]

I'm Maia over there. I just added you.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thanks. I'm adding you back.

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

Yep, friend me over there!

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Groovy!

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

I'm panisdead over there too, although I'm not currently posting. I am reading over there, though.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Added back. Cool! Thanks.

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

I need to use that account more. Cross-post or something.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Dreamwidth lets you easily crosspost FROM there to here, but LJ doesn't have the same capability for going the other way, so from what I gather, to cross-post easily, I'll be originating my posts in DW, and they will appear here in LJ.

What I'm experimenting with now is whether to force all comments over to DW--it seems unpopular, and I can see why (it's an extra log-in step for the commenter), but it would be a shame to lose one's comments when and if the day comes that LJ goes tits-up, or kicks all us heathens out.

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try to remember to cross post via DW. I managed it today, so I've at least made a start.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

I seem not to have you in my DW circle. How can this be?

I'm not finding you under known aliases. Who ARE you over there?

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

You filtered me out? Because you're in my circle.

Oh yeah! I'm Kis. (The start of a kiss!)

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Oh wait. Duh. Found you. Hee!

[malanai.livejournal.com]

I'm swwerth over there...I really need to give my account more attention!

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm subscribing and granting!

[executrix.livejournal.com]

I think we're already cross-circled (is that a word?) but if not I'm executrix in both.

I *have* noticed that there's still a lot more traffic on the LJ side of my flist than on the DW side.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

I did a half-hearted round-up of LJ friends' names on DW back when DW first got going, and I missed a lot of people. Apparently you were one of them.

That is now amended. Thanks.

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

Sure - I'm hardly ever over there, though.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

I am planning for the future!
