thoughts of thinking

[catchmelike]

I am sort of confused by all of the options on dreamwidth (grant access, subscribe, whatever), and honestly that's always been one of my biggest problems with it. I treat my friends list as just that - a friends list; it's a list of people I enjoy being around and interacting with and want to be friends with. A "reading" list full of people who can follow me while not allowing me to follow them and vice versa feels way less personal to me, and I just don't like it.

Also not having a ton of icons. The thing that may keep me going back to Lj is that I DO have a permanent account, and while their attitude towards their user base frustrates and angers me ...I have 200+ icons, and I get all of the storage and features without having to constantly throw money at them. And I have thrown a lot of it. I had the money back then. I don't know if I have it in me to pour hundreds of dollars into another site that's really just a back up for me - a consolation prize so to speak. It doesn't feel the same. Maybe it eventually will but not just now.

I don't know. Just thinking thoughts or whatever.

Also can you install mood themes here? And how?

Honestly, I haven't done a huge amount of research on Dreamwidth, but I checked out--what'd I say, Wordspace? I meant Wordpress--because all my writer-friends hang out there. Well, most of them anyway.

Ahh, I'm going to be honest, I've never even heard of it - I use Lj mostly for fannish/fandom things like comms and fic and discussions/interactions with other fans, and for me it's always been the best for that sort of thing. (Tumblr doesn't lend itself very well to actual discussion, IMO and fic is unreadable there, I don't care what anyone says - also it lacks the community feel that I crave in fandom.)
