Jan. 17th, 2019 06:15 pmDropping this here for my own reference - there is now bookmarklet to help with linkposts on Dreamwidth. It allows you to do quick link posting along with quotations.
I likely won't be using it myself, because I generally handcode my entries in .txt files before posting. Also, it seems that it isn't easy to post more than one link at once. It's a neat little tool, though; I'm glad people are fiddling around with this kind of thing.
Also on the subject of Dreamwidth: I keep seeing some sort of "Dreamwidth is for shitposting" thing going around. It confuses me a bit, because I never really thought of Dreamwidth (or Livejournal) as a place exclusively for formal stuff to begin with, even though I do run into people who have that impression a lot. Shitposting - and also informal short entires - have always been a part of it, or at least I feel that way.
Well, if it means people are going to make more short and silly entries, that sounds nice to me.
