Dreamwidth really is a nice place for a chat. You *can* chat one-to-one on tumblr, but it's hard to have a conversation with a small group of friends there, whereas it's much easier here.

And you know what? I *like* having conversations with small groups of friends. There's been a lot less of it since people decamped for tumblr, and I've been enjoying the increased activity here these past days. :-)

...and very selfishly, I can't help but think it'll be good for holmestice, too, to have new people coming in to Dreamwidth. One less hurdle to participating if one is already here, yes?
