I have never felt older than seeing all the comments here by people who have absolutely no idea what DreamWidth is. Get off my lawn, ya damn whippersnappers!

I'm considering having a blog there, to be honest.

Still wonder why do people saw this post and thought of it as spam. Eh.

It is a bit odd. I think maybe because people aren't familiar with it, it comes off as a promotion? Maybe try editing something into the post body like "DreamWidth is a LiveJournal-like journaling site which sprung up in the wake of LiveJournal censorship in the late aughts. Its flagship site is still focused on an ad-free and user-focused experience, or host it yourself. Check it out if you miss the golden days of LiveJournal."

Well, God forbid someone trying to show people another open-source project, I guess.

Thanks anyway :)
