(no subject)

Does anyone use any other social platforms that are good? I'm looking to move a currently dead group from Yahoo Groups to someplace easier to use. I want something that doesn't track you, no ads, threaded conversations, and a convention of screen names to protect privacy... basically I want Dreamwidth with the ability to post pics easily. Or is there something I'm missing about a way to post pics?

I'm also not sure how difficult posting and friending might be for someone new to Dreamwidth. It seems reasonably easy to me, but I used LiveJournal for umpteen billion years. And yet still I do get confused - I don't seem to see all the posts from people I think I've friended, here.
