You did a good job with your explanation.>.>b Goddess knows I've got enough of that debt to pay off on my WordPress site.
I'm still concerned that DW is cliquish and impenetrable, socially and technically. The invite codes seem almost redundant, because the only way to ever get settled here is if you've got friends on the inside already (I came here blind and encouraged my friends to follow, but still). And OpenID, instead of being a gateway to let members of other sites participate, is a barrier that only the technically adept can pass, and it makes them into second-class citizens once they're here.
As it stands, Dreamwidth is great for safe spaces -- those may be its killer feature. But there aren't very many who can take advantage of it.
