I don't know how much of a current issue Strikethrough is.
The things that I have issues with about LJ are that they have recently made changes in code, or other things, without any notice, one where there was some sort of redirect issue. I'm not clear on the technical issues of that, but what I did understand was that LJ was using outgoing links to generate revenue for them and hadn't notified anyone. There have been other kerfluffles that I've read a bit about and not retained any active knowledge about it, but all in all it just makes me uneasy.
As for why I feel a lot more comfortable with DW's policies, etc., this post explains pretty well. Plus I like their diversity statement, and that it's run by fans and that isn't changing (it's pretty much written into the business policies). So all in all, I'm not uncomfortable with LJ to the point of leaving it, but I enjoy also having a Dreamwidth. it feels kind of weird having two separate groups of friends, but I can deal with it, I guess.
