Dreamwidth - anyone else thinking about jumping ship?

I've been checking out Dreamwidth a little lately, and I'm really considering moving over there once it opens up to the public (April 30). Some major pluses are the "reading page" instead of the "friends" list, which has always been reminiscent of grade five girl gangs at best (even just the new name is far better, but it also separates "friends only" access and the things you want to follow into two distinct things- THANK YOU!) and this amazing diversity statement. It seems to take everything that's good about livejournal and fix everything that sucks. As it looks right now, I'll be switching.

Is anyone else considering this?

I doubt I'd switch over -- I've been using LJ since there were invite codes here and I'm way too comfortable with it to suddenly switch over. I'm fairly active in a bunch of communities on my regular LJ so I definitely wouldn't totally switch unless everyone left, haha.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more interesting it looks... If I got my hands on a code I'd probably try it out, at least. I wonder how restrictive the design elements of it are.

You can test it out a little with OpenID. It signs you in under your livejournal name. I'm on there now.

Cool, I'll definitely check it out... thanks!

You're welcome. It's cool that they include that feature, isn't it?

I have a lot invested in livejournal too, but I'd still be willing to do it. I figure anyone who really wants to follow my story will find a way to do so, and it's really looking better all the time to me.

Me too, unless SUP pulls some crazy crap again like they did a few months ago.
