This isn't bringing reblogs to DW, it just automates the manual process of linking and quoting. I think it's a great idea and so far it works well!

Social media platform review: Living the Dreamwidth

The third post in my social media platform review series is about my experience of Dreamwidth(DW), the platform I am writing this post on. Again, since this post is mainly about my experiences with the platform and evaluation of that experience, I suggest readers turn to other resources if they want fuller background about DW including history, status in fandom, and FAQ/howto.

Current and future posts in this series are:

• Mastodon and its instances
• Tumblr trouble
• Living the Dreamwidth
• Snoozing on Pillowfort

Summary of platform: Primarily text-based blogging platform with robust privacy controls, community functions, and threaded comments
Platform usage: Repository of original content (primarily essays), links to my own and others' off-site content, discussions on communities and posts

( Wheeee! )
