I personally don't find it anywhere near as confusing as I first found lj when I originally discovered it (I could make no sense of it. I thought I was stupid, it confused me so much!). But that's just me!

And there's definitely a different culture on DW, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but would take some adjusting to.

This is true. It's definitely a little bit more social justice-y, in particular. So a little bit more SRS BNS, definitely.
