what is this?
I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.
My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.
From their homepage:
Dreamwidth Studios is a home for creative artists of all types. Share your writing, your artwork, or your innermost thoughts. Find others who create the sort of things you like to enjoy. Control who can see your creation with our fine-grained privacy controls. Participate in communities for any one of a hundred topics. We are an independent, Open Source, community-centric service, and we support diversity in all its forms. Come dream with us.
Sounds like another social media platform.
2000s forum-ish website
Yeah, I tried to go to their wiki the main repo’s readme links to but it won’t load for me
This is one of the ones that popped up when there was a mass migration off of livejournal, right?
Yes it is.
I don’t know.
I think it is! That means I probably have an ancient dead account on there, plus a second dead account from when tumblr made an annoying change. I remember liking it, but just never got into using it. There were a number of lj clones that popped up, but I think dreamwidth is the one I went for. They seemed the most organized and likely to stick around. Since it was founded in 2008, I guess I was right!
But why is my post getting downvoted like that?
This will sound harsh, but you got downvoted for posting a random link to a github page without any explanation of what it was or why anyone might be interested in it.
Try a little bit more effort next time maybe.
People think it’s a spam post, maybe?
God forbid an user finds another open source project and wants to show them it, I guess.
You need to add some sort of context. Posting a single link without even a title explaining what it is, makes it look like random spam.
