Cozy Migration Problems
Migration...
...because we want a new start
and still a lot of people are only willing to move because they can take all old entries and comments with to the new place.
Is it a new start when you only move if all of your friends do too?
Can you only feel cozy on DW if you have the same communities with the same name and maintainers?
Already I have seen people who don't really want to participate in open or closed beta but still hunt for codes like maniacs just because they need to be the maintainers of a certain community and are afraid that someone else will be faster and "steal" the community because the "enemy" is elitist enough to have gotten a code.
There are of course other code hunting maniacs:
Either they want into the closed beta to prove - to the world or just themself - that they belong to the elitist and/or BNF crowd.
Others just want to make sure to safe a certain name in case they will one day be "forced" to move because everybody else has already done.
Others cling to LJ just like they did to maillists and the usenet in the past.
I have been unfriended on LJ by a DW critic just because I announced to have a DW account.
They feel like they don't matter enough as soon as they see DW mentioned on a flist and hate users who only allow comments on DW, because using OpenID is either "too complicated" or "giving in to the new enemy that is DW"
