But that's...not true? I mean, clearly we've got the code generator getting set up for us, plus the community where SD members can donate codes, plus Dreamwidth has its own fairly prominent community where random people can post codes up for grabs for anyone who wants them. Plus you can use OpenID to follow and comment. And I assume our Modly Rulers will post all of this information prominently. So basically the only requirements for joining the community are a) knowing it exists, and b) knowing it's on Dreamwidth. Which I'm pretty sure you'd have to be able to figure out no matter where we were.
(Not that you are aren't free to hate Dreamwidth for whatever reason, because no site works for everyone. That's just not a very reality-based reason.)
