Have I mentioned lately that I love Dreamwidth?

I've spent the last day-ish monitoring a Tumblr post I made promoting the hell out of Dreamwidth on the basis of the following four features:

- Yes to porn
- NFTs and crypto can fuck off (with link evidence of denise saying so in not quite those words)
- Posts in (reverse) chronological order
- Actual privacy options

With Discord (and now self-publishing site Gumroad, and possibly Patreon) leaning into NFTs, these seem to be decent selling points to the Tumblr crowd 😂😭

I did initially forget the lack of ads, but managed to go into extra detail when someone else brought it up. Definitely a good selling point, that.

In retrospect, putting all of those together would've been a nice, "Top 5 Cool Things About Dreamwidth", but I think it's doing well on its own at the moment.

Yeah its not a perfect fix — they still can’t follow you & obviously commenting/reblogging peoples posts wont work through RSS. Plus, tumblr’s tend to be faster paced than your average blog so it can be a big jarring to have them in the same feed. But it’s still a softer transition than most other social media sites offer!
