Hey what about Dreamwidth?!

So Facebook is targeting certain individuals for not using their legal names, and as a result a lot of folks, especially queer folks, are signing up for other social media sites, especially ello.co. And some of them are saying they're going to go back to Livejournal. I signed up at ello too because I feel compelled to stake out my preferred name everywhere, and because a lot of my friends have joined. But I am really sad and annoyed that no one seems to be considering Dreamwidth as an alternative social media site. I trust Dreamwidth a lot more than ello.co (nothing against them, but I don't know the people running it) and more than LiveJournal (although I'm still cross-posting to LiveJournal).

I've seen people mentioning Dreamwidth, and also that their cross-posts are now getting comments on DW, instead of just on LJ.

I'm also trying to respond to posts more often. Maybe eventually I'll even get around to posting again myself.
