LJ Hacked and Restored!
Recently, I received an email saying that a new password had been requested. I hadn't logged into my LJ in months, so I was surprised. When I tried to access my LJ, the system said my account had been suspended due to "suspicious activity."
So I jumped through all the hoops to restore it and got it back. Someone with Webcam Girl aspirations had hacked into my account and put a bunch of creepy links in it. I cleared all those out.
And now, poking around in my LJ, I am nostalgic. I really loved blogging through LJ. It was a simpler, more colorful experience than Facebook. Sure, FB is enormous and expansive and great for Event organizing, but it has a darker, more sinister side, not to mention all the ridiculous and misleading ads that can sometimes trick you into rabbit holes.
LJ is cleaner, simpler, and not so nefarious. It calls to me. I have it linked to my Facebook, but I'm going to try to get in the habit of posting entries from here instead. I mean, I would love it if everyone on my feed abandoned Facebook and joined me here on LJ, but there are limits to my dreaming capabilities.
Still... come join me on LJ.
