DW probably isn't all that different from LJ really to be fair, and access and subscribing does sound like a sensible way of doing things when you want to read a strangers DW without them having access to all of your private thoughts. I suppose that it's just what you're used too at the end of the day though, it just doesn't feel as personal to me somehow, and I've felt settled here for so many years that I don't cope well with change!

I'm hoping the whole two flists thing will be easier now that I've removed a few LJ subscriptions anyway, because they'll be two entirely separate entities to catch up with. And I might try cross-posting to DW before the end of the year, I'm not sure what I want to do yet
