I'm not going to move to Dreamwidth immediately--if nothing else, I'm going to want a paid account and unnecessary expenses are on hold until June--but I'll certainly comment. If the majority of fandom moves to Dreamwidth I will too, but I'm not really an early adopter when it comes to social networking.
In some ways I want to see how Dreamwidth weathers it's first big fandom wank before I commit. Honestly I'm more afraid of us than of "them" in terms judging what isn't acceptable. Fandom as a whole is a small enough part of LJ for its smaller segments to fly under Six-Apart's radar, but Dreamwidth is going to be mostly fandom, as I understand it, so its radar is going to be much more focused. (And if you've never seen a fannish witch hunt, I envy you.)
