I experience DW and LJ as part of the same thing, really: I crosspost everything between the two, and read both consistently. They are quieter than when I joined (which wasn't until 2008) but I still have stuff from real humans to read every day, and I like writing here as well as reading.
I get frustrated when people say they miss LJ as though it no longer exists. It exists! Some of us are still posting! Anyone could come back and post at any time and they would have readers! Until recently I assumed that most people still read here and just don't post, but I think that was over-optimistic. I think some people read and don't post, and some have drifted away entirely.
I don't use Google Plus at all - I have it enabled for my work account purely so D and I can use the Location bit that they moved into G+, but I don't read it. I sort of forget it exists most of the time.
