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.)

I usually read via LJ, so I like your cross-posts there - I don't really have enough friends on DW to transfer anything over, but as long as you keep sending out occasional messages to alert people on LJ that you've been posting on DW, that's fine.

...I know really that wasn't what you were asking, but it influences my next opinion: feel free to lock/not lock as you wish, but please leave it open for some of us LJ lurkers to keep the possibility of reading the under-filter entries...? But really in the end it's up to you what you prefer to do.

I imported my lj friends list to dw. This means that if you sign into dreamwidth with your livejourrnal openID you will have identical filter access. I really want openIDs and regular dreamwidths to be linked already. That will be yay.
