I hadn't realized it had gotten into that deep a discussion. Dreamwidth needs to grow. Why are we not helping it grow?
There were a ton of communities and cultures on livejournal that I never saw and interacted with, and we were both happy that way. I see no reason why more people would disrupt the culture on my reading circle.
Treating dreamwidth as a clubhouse with a sign on it saying, "No poopyheads allowed," isn't going to make it a better, nor a more widely accepted, journaling service.
Just because a feature exists, that doesn't mean I have to use it.
Seriously, more functionality - as long as it's optional - is pretty much never a bad thing.
