Some answers to some of the Dreamwidth questions I've seen from LJers.

It's like LJ, right?
It's a code fork of LJ, so you'll recognize the way it works, but it's not "just another LJ clone". They've posted some current and planned feature differences.

Why is everyone signing up with their LJ OpenID? Won't their accounts then vanish if they delete their LJ accounts?
OpenID accounts on DW can't post. They can be added to filters, they can comment, and OID accounts with a validated email address received an invite code when Open Beta launched (which is why you've seen so many people using that method). OID is also how comments from LJ users are brought over when importing from LJ to DW. They have future plans to integrate OID and DW accounts and bring everything under one user roof.

How come everyone is making moving to DW sound like a political choice? Is this a Russia-hating thing?
