What can brown do for you?

I was on LJ, but left due to people being asshats. I joined again recently, and still found asshattery... but from LJ as well as from the peeps.

I mean, the whole layout has changed, it's a pain in the ass to use now, and when I left LJ the first time, DW wasn't really that active.

Now it is though. Woo boy!

I haven't heard a lot of the recent crap, so I'd like to hear your stories.
What all has LJ done to piss you off? Is it letting stalkers go free (while you get a bad rep from the Support team who then ignores all your support tickets afterwards while stalking continues)?
The new layout? The way they're more business-oriented and not user-friendly like they used to be?

What pisses you off in particular? Why are you glad you joined DW?

Well, it was the division of 'friends' into 'access' and 'reading' lists was what drew me to begin with (livejournal promised to do that for years but never followed through). But I also think the different reading list culture that resulted from that, the expanding cut tags, and the dreamwidth staff's willingness to implement things that the users want are incredibly awesome. Just as a start.

I guess what I'm saying is that it was important to me to have a positive reason for leaving rather than a negative one. And even now, I'd still rather concentrate on the awesomeness of dreamwidth than the horribleness of livejournal.
