discussion of Dreamwidth features in MetaTalk

[brainwane]

Some MetaFilter members who currently discuss US politics in "megathreads" on the blue are discussing whether to try to move that kind of synthesis and discussion to some other platform(s), and I mentioned Dreamwidth communities. I'd love for folks here who have experience modding or administering DW communities to comment in that thread; darkstar and, later, TWinbrook8 have multiple comments asking questions that I could use help answering.

I am wavering on quitting MF altogether. I have a generally okay experience but then I rock up against awareness of the hidden shoals and remember that I'm self-censoring on the site and that lots of other people are too. I put a lot of effort at one point into engagement there for fanfare and women's posting, and I don't know if I would do the same again.
