Old-school noob?
Glad to see things are picking up on Dreamwidth due to the exodus from social media platforms like Facebook and Tumblr. Enough of my friends are here that I finally joined.
I'm an old-school LJ user, so I'll get back up to speed with the habits I need for DW eventually. Maybe I'll even get around to importing my 300+ old entries from LJ one day. I had a paid permanent account on LJ, so I was bummed when the critical mass moved to Facebook and LJ became mostly a ghost town.
I look forward to getting back into the slower, more thoughtful pacing of journal writings focused on text, and away from the distracting, algorithm-driven, frustrating "busy town square" environment of Facebook and Twitter. Can't wait until I'm in a position to leave FB for good!
It'll be awhile before I write here even semi-regularly, I'm sure. But I'm happy to read my friends' journals in the meantime.
