I'm so getting ready to leave LJ...I think.
I'm not quite there yet. I'm Saberivojo at Dreamwidth but I haven't moved everything yet. I really don't want to go but it seems that LJ just doesn't listen to any of us anymore.
I keep trying to use this new damn friends page and I hate it. Just like I hate the other changes they've made. They keep calling this a beta version. Doesn't beta imply they want our feedback on this? How horrible is it that when I switch back to the "old version" - that apparently won't be available, I literally feel like I could cry?There is my personal format, my icons, my friends and it feels like home.
Oh hai there LJ I love! My friends page! In my format!
Grant you I'm really tired and emo but I don't want to go to Dreamwidth, I've been here for years. I like it here. I know my friends, my communities and it's my journal! Why can't I have my journal? I pay for it. LJ continues to take my money -
I haven't been able to embrace Dreamwidth and a piece of me just thinks I won't journal anymore. I won't post because it isn't LJ. LJ isn't even LJ.
And it just makes me want to sob because I've got five years of my life in this journal. I've got real friends here. Some of my dearest friends. My ups, my downs, my fic...maybe I'm just making too much of this but I don't want to lose my peeps! I also don't want to be driven to Dreamwidth.
It all feels so hard. And so stupid.
A part of me just knows that leaving LJ will mean leaving some friends behind who don't want to move to Dreamwidth or don't feel strongly enough to follow me there. And why should they? I'm not the pied piper!
I haven't committed yet and and maybe I will delete this post in the light of day when I haven't been up for 30 plus hours.
