I have forgotten how to deal with the hoi polloi

[jmtorres]

My original plan for dreamwidth:
--crosspost most entries to DW and LJ, slowing tapering off until only big announcements are crossposted to LJ, regular content on DW
--consolidate comments on DW
--leave my LJ habitually locked; open my DW to the public until DW is out of beta

Is the last bit I'm concerned about. I'm considering going back to habitual access-locking before official release. The reason I was going to hold off that long is that DW will deal with certain bugs (openID appearing to be a non-option if anonymous commenting is disabled, unless you're already *signed in* to openID) and, I hope, release certain features (linking openID and regular accounts, if you have both) by the time we come out of beta.

HOWEVER. I don't actually like dealing with people I don't know all that much. So I am considering access-locking all my regular DW content as I do my LJ content.

Please raise your hand if you give a crap either way. Tell me why. (Dear lurkers: this means you too.)

Kind of on topic is something I meant to mention earlier this week, I can still read your filtered posts on lj, but can't comment since I'm not on those filters here.

Technically, your openID has access (one of the reasons I OMG WANT OPENIDS AND REGULAR ACCOUNTS LINKED) but in general I am rebuilding my filters on "reconfirm you interest" basis in this poll (as linked from my profile).

Oh duh! Totally missed that poll.

Last time I tried to sign into OpenID something was wonky and it just wouldn't let me. I'll have to try again and see what I can do with it.
