DW is way less active than LJ. Both in terms of users, posting volume, and ESPECIALLY comments.

I've been paying attention to the many of my friends who cross-post to both LJ and DW. And the picture is always the same: for the same post, 0 comments on DW (1 or 2 at /most/), and all the comments are on LJ.

The traffic volume on LJ is diminishing, in favor of FB, Twitter and Tumblr (which I just don't understand, that last one). But for all that, LJ is still unmatched, technologically (and culturally). No other service, at the moment, has the following two thingst: 1) reading filters and writing filters (that last one is INCREDIBLY important, and affects the level of intimacy of the posts), AND 2) threaded comments with email notification.
These two things are key to the culture of LJ, this is what makes it brilliant. DW obviously has those capabilities, but I discount it for the reasons above (relative lack of users and comments).
