Hello, hello, this is your bi-yearly admin post.
+ Despite LJ's persistent denial of their password database being breached in 2020, there's been another surge of compromised accounts recently. If you, at any point ever, used the same password of your LJ account on another website, make sure you aren't using it anymore. For a more detailed explanation (including proof of said data breach) check out this post on DW.
+ Not unrelated to that, I would like to remind you we have a backup community on DW located here: https://arashi-off.dreamwidth.org/
-- Said community has a full backup of every entry and comment ever made here on LJ, and if you create a DW account and verify your LJ identity, you will be able to edit and delete said content freely like you can here.
-- In general, you're also encouraged to join and post to the DW community directly. In addition to the security issues with LJ, there's the elephant in the room of who currently owns this platform and who is collecting your data and ad revenue (it's the Russian government).
+ The community tags have been streamlined a bit. If you have suggestions to further improve them, feel free to let me know.
And that's about it. The community activity has obliviously declined due to the hiatus of Arashi as a group and the general shift away from longform fandom, but feel free to use this post or PM me for any issues related to the comm.
