Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.

They are handling everything. If you misunderstood their statements to mean 'no problems will happen', then I'm sorry you misinterpreted that. There is a problem happening (a tremendously mundane one compared to the things LJ did, such as die entirely for days on end) and they are dealing with it the best they can with a high level of communication. They are doing far better over this little problem than LJ ever has over their actual big problems.

LJ was like a restaurant whose food was food poisoning 1/5 of the people every week with the chefs telling them 'too bad'. You're not going to back to that restaurant just because the new one you've been to forgot pickles on your burger and apologized, are you?

Also, you may be underestimating the importance of communication between DreamWidth and its users. So far, it has been a thousand times better than LJ's practically nonexistent communication and that sort of good customer service will make people happy and willing to deal with troubles. Even if DW gets one of the issues that caused table-flipping over at LJ, the users are likely to go along with it and be supportive due to that high customer service.

TL;DR: No one was mislead, every product/company needs to fix something now and again, this is a very small problem, and the main benefit of DW over LJ is not necessarily its superior reliability but its infinitely superior customer service.
