Social Interaction on Dreamwidth vs Tumblr

(Originally posted to Tumblr on August 8th.)

Today I'm going to take a moment to talk about a major cultural difference between Tumbr and Dreamwidth, and that is Audience.

Tumblr Post+ Protest

Anyway, yeah, I'll be logging off of Tumblr in a few hours as part of Phase Two of the Post+ Protest. I'm afraid I don't actually expect Tumblr to take Post+ away; a lot of websites are married pretty hard to the Sunk Cost Fallacy, and Tumblr has sunk waaaay too much into Post+ to abandon it without at least a few years of trying to make it work. But I'm sure y'all have already gathered how big a proponent I am of Dreamwidth, and, well, any excuse to get people to check it out!

Official logoff time starts in about 3.25 hours after this post goes up, and lasts for 48 hours. We'll see what happens!
