Didn't Tumblr lose about a third of its traffic after the porn ban?
And I don't think the site's culture veering off into Puritanism as it is now will be good for it in the long run. If there were a better site, I'd leave for it - but the only real alternative is Twitter, which combines all the worst aspects of LinkedIn, Instagram, and 4chan.
Who knows! Maybe anyone will use Dreamwidth ever. But I think Tumblr's lack of distinction between top-level posts and comments is a good feature - there were a few blogs, back when blogs were a thing, that I mostly read because they had a few good commenters. The problem is that it enables a lot of abuse, but stricter moderation and better features could prevent this - Tumblr wasn't designed for text at all, and it really shows.
(You could edit anyone else's post while reblogging it until relatively recently, when someone replaced a John Green post with a graphic monologue about liking dick and [so everyone assumed, at least] he complained.)
