Dreamwidth
Dreamwidth is an open source[1] social networking and blogging site based on LiveJournal code and committed to open access, interoperability, and respecting user privacy.[2][3] It was originally launched in 2009.[4]
Dreamwidth allows OpenID to be used for subscribing to Dreamwidth journals, using a Reading Page (subscription feed), and commenting on Dreamwidth posts.[5]
Dreamwidth generates RSS and Atom feeds for all accounts.[6] A Dreamwidth account can also be used to subscribe to external RSS or Atom feeds.[7][8]
Dreamwidth has played a role in actively combatting legal challenges to user privacy on the internet.[9] In partnership with NetChoice, Dreamwidth staff have participated in cases such as NetChoice v. Skrmetti[10] and Netchoice, LLC v Yost.[11]
Dreamwidth Studios, LLC operates on a user-funded business model. Users can support the site by purchasing extra features for their accounts.[12][13] Dreamwidth does not accept or display third-party advertising.[2]
