I just got the terrible news that one of our most active contributors from the early days of Dreamwidth has passed away. Next time you use Dreamwidth, please think of Dre, who built an incredible amount of the backend code still in use, and who has left the world a little less for her passing.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Sign up for DreamWidth because it drives @rahaeli.bsky.social nuts if she thinks it's becoming culturally relevant
I feel I'm morally obliged to mention Dreamwidth here - LJ clone without ads or data scraping - is still very much going strong
