thankyou very much for this decision not to delete for inactivity, and for putting that much thought into it.
for us personally, this is a very important accessibility feature, and one of the reasons dreamwidth is one of the few sites we can use. our disabilities mean we can go years at a time unable to log on to somewhere due to severe lack of spoons, or too mentally nonfunctional to remember things exist (even big things like the concept of email).
plus, the way our plurality functions (since we're a gateway) means that people who may want their own personal journals, might be away in their home universe for years on end and unable to visit our shared brain/body here in this universe (mostly due to the shared brain's limited bandwidth & the scheduling restrictions of everyone having to share access to a single brain here). but it also means their personal records on their own journal are deeply important to them and all of us, because our shared brain can't store that level of detailed information about who someone is and who they make friends with here and what they do in their life for several thousand people concurrently, so our individual journals are often the only way we have of reminding our own brain of who we even are. so it's a huge accessibility thing for plural reasons too.
...all of which is to say, we deeply appreciate the reliability, accessibility and sense of safety that is dreamwidth's decision not to delete for inactivity. thankyou. <3
