I've begun a shift to Dreamwidth, for several reasons;
-
All this crap. I'm personally most annoyed with their handling of icons in comments, myself, but the rest is pretty bad too. (Speaking of which, check your paid subscription status just to be safe.)
- The multiple recent glitches in the RSS feeds, which have already caused me to dump LJ as my primary aggregator and switch to Google Reader (that was looooong overdue anyway). Also the other downtime issues.
- My paid subscription expires in about a month anyway, and I don't use this journal enough any more to justify renewal even if none of the other stuff was true.
I'm not going to outright terminate this account, since I still have some friends and communities here that I don't want to abandon, but don't expect much if any more posting here. If you want to find me on DW, I'm at
ShireNomad.
