DW haven't actually required invite codes for about a year now. I think they felt they could deal with a rush if there was one and so dropped it. But yeah, they're a business so probably just as canny as LJ. It goes with the territory.

The real breaker for me, and I suspect others, will be if they make largish scale interaction too difficult. LJ (or any journal) for me has to have the ability to offer more than 50 word comments. Not that I do comment often, or use more than 50 words, but you know, the option isn't an option in my book. That, though, would drive me away entirely, instead just trying to find options for my everyday browsing page, which is what I tend to use my Friends page for, and that was what the panic was about yesterday. I wanna stare at ugly and intrusive. Hence no Facebook or Tumblr.

Anyway, I am at least more hopeful.
