Dreamwidth rambling

Er I hope this doesn't cause any offense, but today I actually unsubscribed from quite a few of the DW accounts that I first added when we were creating them as LJ back-ups. All of those accounts still have mutual access, but I decided that I want to start to try and keep up with my DW flist as well (or "reading list" I guess) now that so many people have left for DW, and at the moment I find that I'm mostly just reading the same entries again that I've already read on LJ, so I've unsubscribed to friends that I'm already in touch with on LJ

For the moment I won't be cross-posting and using my own DW, but I am going to try and keep up with my "subscriptions" over there (is it just me, or is DW awfully impersonal??), and read through it after I've read my flist

That's how it's always struck me, that it's more about cherry-picking what it interests you to read, rather than formulating mutual friendships. It just feels a bit more formal than LJ. Plus honestly it always felt like all the 'cool kids' went over there, pitying those of us who didn't want to make the break from LJ, and it can be hard to shake that first impression, even though I'm sure that it is a pretty ridiculous and unfair one!
