Well, talk about an LJ-kerfuffle this time. I don't even know what to make off it... I see friends, long time friends disappearing.
It hurts a bit, I won't lie. Although, I do understand why. The TOS from LJ is a bit... weird and creepy, for sure. And not exactly kind to any LGBT people what with the view Russia has of the same. :-/ So I get it. I do. The servers AND the company has been in Russia for YEARS, it's just with these TOS it's become more apparent, I suppose.
I'll stay though, but expand. I'll be active on both Dreamwidth AND Livejournal. To me being active on both places, that are so alike, is no different to me than being active on both Twitter and Plurk. Those two are basically the same to. *shrug*
Me biggest concern with all this was how users would handle each other...
I've been on LJ since 2003. The crazy that has been going on on Livejournal during those years could fill a damn book. Not to mention the way the users and employees has acted.
So I was worried those that decided to stay would be getting shit from those that left Livejournal. And vice versa, of course. Those that left would be getting shit from those that stayed.
To my relief though, I've not seen a HUGE amount of that. Of course, it's been hinted at, but only a little. So I was expecting worse there. Sometimes I'm glad to be wrong.
Long time friends can follow me on either Livejournal OR Dreamwidth. I'll continue to crosspost. You're free to comment wherever you wish.
Just be kind and respectful to everyones choices.
