Re-existing

[omorka]

Well, LJ has become too difficult to use. I got swallowed by Tumblr for a while, and most of my active fandom-related stuff is currently over there. But there are some things it's just not any good at, and straight journaling is one of them, so I guess my home for that is here (DW) now. At least, I paid up my account again.

I think I have this set up to crosspost to LJ, so if anyone is still listening over there, they'll see what I have up here. If not, no great loss, I think. But it seems a shame to just abandon a ten-year journal, so at least it's safely archived here.

Yes, I've found this to be the case as well. I can't even reply to comments on LJ anymore, so I cross-post and that's the best I can do.

I guess I'm glad it's not just me, but it's really quite a shame.

It is rather sad to have to abandon a site we've used so many years. I don't understand what they did to break the site so thoroughly (and definitely don't get why), but it doesn't seem like they intend to fix the issues, so I feel like there's not much choice. (I have heard LJ still works for some people, but it seems pretty random and unpredictable whether it does or does not work for someone.)

I check LJ from time to time for the few folks who still post there, and I noticed that you were going longer and longer between posts. So yes, I noticed!

Your crossposting works.

I believe that there is a way to get back to the "old" LJ feed style (or to keep it from taking hold on your journal), but that happened more than a few weeks ago and I no longer recall what the procedure was. It's well-hidden, I know that. I was able to set mine back when it was happening, and now I just have to remember to go to the login page and make sure I'm logged in before I do any refreshes if I've been away from the screen for a while.

In any event, I'll happily read you here as well as there. I'm assuming from your last paragraph that you've done a full import?

Hey cool!!! You know, I've been seeing a big resurgence of people going back to LJ, myself included. I have a blog here mainly to bitch about fandom stuff, but my actual blog about life is over at BabsBunny.livejournal.com

welcome back. I don't wander into tumblr much, since I don't do what it's good at.
