Announcement: Livejournal and Russia

Mar 13, 2022 01:22

In the light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the possibility that Livejournal as a Russian-owned company might be cut off from the rest of the world (whether that’s because P*tin severs the internet connection between Russia and the rest of the world or something else), we have created a mirror journal on Dreamwidth. Everything posted to the comm before this post has been backed up to Dreamwidth. Unfortunately, it has only imported entries, not comments.

As we are in the middle of the round and not everyone has a Dreamwidth account, this is our proposed course of action: Everyone can choose on what platform they wish to post their entry. We will not force anyone to post to either Livejournal or Dreamwidth if they don’t want to. If you do want to post to Livejournal and DreamWidth but don’t have a Dreamwidth account, we will happily crosspost for you. All of these developments are very recent and the situation is unpredictable enough that we want to cover all of our bases. For any questions or concerns, you can reach us here on LJ, as well as twitter, email, and even tumblr. Also please share your thoughts here on this post. We want to keep this challenge alive and preserve its history as best as we can, so for now, the backup to Dreamwidth seemed like the safest option.
