Date: 2020-09-27 09:59 pm (UTC)I use Dreamwidth because mid-2000s era Livejournal was basically the internet at its best for me: longform blogging, a community of enthusiastic commenters who replied at length, the ability to create communities based on interests, the ability to control access to what you posted, no retweet/share/reblog button, a chronological feed, no ads, and no selling of user data.
YES. I've been a serious user of the internet for about 20 years now, and that was the highlight for me, though, honestly, any pre-Facebook-eats-the-world time was great.
I would also say that it is helpful to remove the sense of guilt you might feel at no longer bearing constant, immediate, real-time witness to all the iniquities of the world.
This is something I am consciously working on right now.
