I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.
My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

From their homepage:

Sounds like another social media platform.

This is one of the ones that popped up when there was a mass migration off of livejournal, right?

I think it is! That means I probably have an ancient dead account on there, plus a second dead account from when tumblr made an annoying change. I remember liking it, but just never got into using it. There were a number of lj clones that popped up, but I think dreamwidth is the one I went for. They seemed the most organized and likely to stick around. Since it was founded in 2008, I guess I was right!

This will sound harsh, but you got downvoted for posting a random link to a github page without any explanation of what it was or why anyone might be interested in it.
Try a little bit more effort next time maybe.

God forbid an user finds another open source project and wants to show them it, I guess.

You need to add some sort of context. Posting a single link without even a title explaining what it is, makes it look like random spam.
I have never felt older than seeing all the comments here by people who have absolutely no idea what DreamWidth is. Get off my lawn, ya damn whippersnappers!

I’m considering having a blog there, to be honest.
Still wonder why do people saw this post and thought of it as spam. Eh.
It is a bit odd. I think maybe because people aren’t familiar with it, it comes off as a promotion? Maybe try editing something into the post body like “DreamWidth is a LiveJournal-like journaling site which sprung up in the wake of LiveJournal censorship in the late aughts. Its flagship site is still focused on an ad-free and user-focused experience, or host it yourself. Check it out if you miss the golden days of LiveJournal.”

Well, God forbid someone trying to show people another open-source project, I guess.
Thanks anyway :)
