Dreamwidth

I admit I was a bit reluctant about Dreamwidth at first, because I was quite attached to LJ, and I moved over mostly because many fan fiction/vidders/fandom people that I respect and admire were doing so.

But more and more, I find I want to make it my primary journaling site. There are a few simple reasons for this.

Dreamwidth is an Open Source community that is run by 75% women. damned_colonial gave a great talk about women in open source and how rare this is in the OS culture: Standing Out in the Crowd.

Here are DW's Guiding Principles.

Here is DW's impressive diversity statement.

We welcome people of any gender identity or expression, race, ethnicity, size, nationality, sexual orientation, ability level, religion, culture, subculture, and political opinion.
...
We think accessibility for people with disabilities is a priority, not an afterthought. We think neurodiversity is a feature, not a bug. We believe in being inclusive, welcoming, and supportive of anyone who comes to us with good faith and the desire to build a community.

This is what I'm about. This is where I want to be.
