I was browsing different DW accounts and stumbled upon an interesting entry highlighting what seems to be most Tumblr users miss from Tumblr (likes, reblogs, easily uploading images and posting them). I left this comment and I wanted to bring it here for future reference:
In all honesty, Dreamwidth is Dreamwidth. What I mean is that long term users of Dreamwidth, like me, stayed here running away from all the reblog and like nonsense that was Tumblr.
Dreamwidth is a place for everything you want to do, but is planned out as a blogging system. You may not have likes but you can leave a comment with a heart if you wish (likes were added to LJ much to the dismay of everyone, I hated that). You can't reblog but that ensures having your own content and not massive replicas of everyone's content... I don't know, I think we have here a great opportunity to go some steps back to what used to be a fun way of blogging and sharing, leaving comments which feel great when they arrive, to discuss, etc.
Just a thought I wanted to let out, since many Tumblr users are demanding some features lately over what really is Dreamwidth and I, as a long term user, feel a bit uneasy because DW was never intended to be like the rest of social networks.
Don't feel like I'm mad or anything! Just felt like sharing this with everyone.
