I hope the Dreamwidth servers aren't taking this too hard! Though for me - I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

Some of that might be conflation due to the opening up of Dreamwidth accounts (the no-invite-code-needed thing), so a lot of it might be people making secondary accounts, RP accounts, etc... But even with that in mind it's still a huge jump!

Actually, the numbers already jumped in the previous days up from about 500 to 1500 with the ability to open the new accounts with no code:

All of this in the last two days is purely Livejournal exodus, with maybe an extra 1000 or 2000 of people from this site looking to create secondary jornals.

That is *amazing*. Wow. One thousand five hundred to thirty-four THOUSAND. Where can I find all those people to befriend? XD

There is a really cool friending meme happening right now, for both new and old users! I'm filling it out myself. :D But I keep getting distracted. ^^

[syntaxofthings]

Oooh, thanks for linking! I think that's what I need right now. =)

o_o Wow. That's insane. I wonder what prompted it? I know the new comment format sucks but I haven't heard about any recent drama... then again, I haven't been paying much attention to LJ, I'm afraid.

[burningbright]

OWAIT I have now seen the discussion in the below comments, I will now educate myself!

[burningbright]

...................wow. What a complete clusterfuck. o_o

[moonvoice]

That is the perfect word, I think. :)
