    This is one of the ones that popped up when there was a mass migration off of livejournal, right?

    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?

    I have never felt older than seeing all the comments here by people who have absolutely no idea what DreamWidth is. Get off my lawn, ya damn whippersnappers!

    I'm considering having a blog there, to be honest.

    Still wonder why do people saw this post and thought of it as spam. Eh.

    It is a bit odd. I think maybe because people aren't familiar with it, it comes off as a promotion? Maybe try editing something into the post body like "DreamWidth is a LiveJournal-like journaling site which sprung up in the wake of LiveJournal censorship in the late aughts. Its flagship site is still focused on an ad-free and user-focused experience, or host it yourself. Check it out if you miss the golden days of LiveJournal."
