Just ignore yesterday's post. I was feeling crappy and tired and I very nearly 'flounced off' which I am not known for! Today I am much more sensible
( Read more... )
I guess there is some kind of compromise with almost all of the social media sites. I just feel horrible that so many of my flist are leaving. That's why, at least for now, I am keep two journals. I read my flist in both places. I don't crosspost because I would have to write my posts in DW (since there is no cross post option in lj) and in my mind, that would be making DW my main journal. So instead I copy and paste (if I remember) my lj posts into DW.
It's working for now but I have to admit that I have been seriously thinking about crossposting instead of copy and pasting. Someone on my flist recently posted this:
I finally realized I couldn't use LJ anymore and feel good about myself. Even after all the previous times when people left, I stuck with it, but this time I've realized that my complacency about it pretty much implicitly condones Russia's attitude toward the LBGTQ community.
It has me really rethinking the whole DW vs LJ thing. So no matter which site I choose, I am compromising my principals. *sigh*
I think whatever you are doing you are always compromising your own personal principals. Mr Cee works for a company I hate, but we have to suck it up because it brings in money and he loves the actual job.
One of my f-list says that he's staying here posting loads of entries and loads of photos so that he's using their servers and making their content reviewers work really hard and burying anything he says in an enormous amount of words. I rather like that idea.
I still haven't heard of anyone on my flist being banned or having threats made towards them. I still think most of this is aimed at Russian citizens and anyone outside the country is very much ignored. There are hundreds of thousands of users on Lj.
*squishes you* I must try and be better at both commenting and updating - and it will be here and not at DW. I check LJ daily, DW hardly at all, and can't be doing with cross-posting from there to here.
Your eggs are beautiful, such lovely displays when all seen together.
Hope the belly dance practice (because obvs you've done some today *g*) has gone well.
One of my flist says he posting here a LOT so that the Russian servers have to cope (plus loads of photos). It also means the content reviewers will have to sift through a huge amount of entries in English.
Wherever we post we are compromising our principals I'm sure. Facebook isn't immune to crap and I don't agree with a lot of their ToS either.
I have indeed practised and I have all day tomorrow to practice too so by Thursday evening I might even remember what I'm supposed to be doing... :)
LOL!!!!!! I love that - thank you it made me feel better about being a bit dramatic. No-one can outdo Barrowman at dramatic :D
I seem to have a lot of old posts at IJ so I'm not sure how they got there. I seem to remember some kind of importing thing, maybe I should investigate.
Yes I am very familiar with Community ;)
I don't know why I don't like DW - it's always seemed so less friendly and there's no reason for that as it's so similar to here....
Thanks! I love my egg collection and it's taken quite a few years for it to get to that many. I may have finally learned the belly dance - I have to practice a LOT today.
I have SO MANY John Barrowman gifs. I can't envisage a situation where I don't have just the thing...
I miss my IJ. I post once a year just to keep it going (there was something about them deleting unused journals), but I don't think you can import/crosspost. Although I'll happily friend you back over there!!
Anyway, here is my take on LJ vs DW, using Community as an example.
Must run, but this is my 'Change is Bad' icon. Feel free to steal. <3

I am amazed that I can still log into IJ! I don't think you can back up or cross post though :(
