Newcomers to Dreamwidth

>> On Dreamwidth, you have one primary audience you post for, and many optional secondary audiences you can post for. <<

This is true if you post mainly in one place, such as your blog or a community. But some people spread their content over a much wider area on DW. That influences audience interaction. While most people post mainly to their own blog, and secondarily to other places, that's not universal.

>>The odds of you getting hate-followers still go up with your general subscriber numbers, which is one reason why some Dreamwidth users have accounts that are completely Access-locked: To reduce or prevent harassment.<<

Also why you can ban someone from your blog.

>>If you realize that you made a mistake, you can edit the post to own it and add new thoughts, and—this is the important part—that is the version that people will see.<<

Note that you cannot edit a comment once someone has replied to it. So if you need to point out an error in a comment, do so in a private message because a reply would lock in the error.
