Sounds like Dreamwidth is an entirely different site from Livejournal, it just uses the same open source code. How does dubious fanfic on Livejournal relate to the banning of Dreamwidth?
If that fanfic migrated to Dreamwidth, why not just say there was dubious fanfic on Dreamwidth?
Many users migrated wholesale.

From Livejournal to Dreamwidth? Did they bring the dubious content with them?
Livejournal was a hotbed of dubious fanfic (shall we say) in which one or more characters was underage. Maybe such a thing is technically not illegal but even so, many left that platform once it started to develop a reputation for it. Then it went bust and was sold to a Russian company, it is still used for normal blogging in Russia.
