Sad days in LJ-land :(
I'm not leaving -- but so many people that I care about are.
It mystifies me that FB (known for censoring content, violating privacy, and selling/monetizing user data) is seen as better than the nebulous threat posed by LJ's new TOS.
I do have a DW account (ashbet), but it only gets updated when I port LJ entries to archive them.
I think it's the Russia connection that broke the final straw, in this case -- with the shady stuff going on in US politics, another Russian presence in our personal lives feels like too much. (I think it's reactionary and paranoid, but I also get the emotional punch.)
Right now, we need community more than ever. I'm not leaving.
If you're moving to DW, please post a link to your profile -- going to try to keep up with as many friends as possible <3
