It's kind of eerie when one is poking around Dreamwidth how many seemingly abandoned journals there are. I understand that a lot of them might be restricted, posts visible to friends only but it gives quite the ghost town vibe
You find some where people have only made a couple of posts so you assume they were trying blogging out but found it didn't work for them, but they left the journal there, without deleting it.
You also find some where people have used it for years but then appear to have suddenly stopped using it. It makes you wonder what happened to all these random people that you've never even heard of.
(I haven't gone to their profiles to look and see when their post was because that feels a little too stalkery - I don't know why that feels different to just randomly wandering around Dreamwidth to people's journals, but it does!)
