Not Star Trek related but VERY IMPORTANT!

If LiveJournal can not be accessed after March 11 because Russia is going to cut itself off from the global Internet (LJ is owned by a Russiaa company, if you did not know) do you have plans to post somewhere else?

A lot of people are moving do Dreamwidth, which is similar to LJ because it was developed by former LJ employees.
If you do go to DW, here are a couple of LJ posts by users to Help;

Backing Up Your LJ Data
How to Sync Your LiveJournal to DW
Export you LJ journal

Note LJ has been blocking importing from DW & you may have trouble transferring stuff.

Also; Open call to anyone still listening - archiving old LJ comms;
If you modded LiveJournal communities back in the day, please consider archiving them to Dreamwidth NOW. So much 2000s internet history lives there, and if LJ falls off the internet (as it very well might, depending on how things go in Russia in the near future), links will break and vast amounts of it will be lost. Wayback Machine only captures public posts; a Dreamwidth import can pull in locked posts and comments, and allow people to view them by joining the comm.

Follow the link for additional help and suggestions.
