I just spent the last hour or two going through and cleaning up my friends list on LiveJournal for the first time in years. I've unfollowed everyone who's inactive, whose only posts are their Twitter feed (since I can read that on Twitter itself), or who have a Dreamwidth account. In the case of the latter, I should now be following anyone who ( Read more... )

So, yes, I survived the trip to Tennessee. Mostly, at least. My poor back hasn't forgiven me quite yet, and my sleep schedule is apparently completely out of whack considering I fell asleep on the sofa (about five minutes after sitting down to put in work for Part-Time Job on my laptop, because it's just been that kind of week :-/) at something ( Read more... )

If any of my LiveJournal friends just got any random notifications saying that they were unfriended/friended back-to-back (no idea if they send out anything if you undo the unfriending pretty much immediately), that was me accidentally pressing the wrong button and unfriending several of you. No idea how I managed to do that, but I think that I've ( Read more... )

Okay, I think that I'm finally caught up on my Dreamwidth circle and LiveJournal friends list. Fingers crossed, at least ( Read more... )

For those who don't know, I periodically go through and unfollow people on DW/LJ who haven't posted in ages. (Translation: it's been at least one year since your last post, and typically it's more like two years.) If that much time has passed, I tend to assume that you've either moved to a different platform or you've become less active in fandom ( Read more... )

So, um, yes. Despite rumors to the contrary, I am in fact still alive. *coughs* One of the main systems we need to do things at work is down at the moment, so I'm taking a few minutes to update before they get it fixed and I have to get back to work ( Read more... )

For the time being, I'm still planning on staying active on both websites. However, some of the changes that have been taking place on LiveJournal have been making it harder and harder for me to use the website without causing severe headaches. They're slowly making changes related to the new friends page, and I'm at least cautiously optimistic ( Read more... )

If you haven't heard, LiveJournal has officially put the new friends page into open beta. I mean, for those of us who aren't in Russia ( Read more... )

I only know a handful of Russian, so I've been mostly depending on online translators to read the non-English comments in the post about LJ's planned changes to the friends page. Apparently, it seems that there's a belief that your journal's style is meant for your readers instead of you, which... really seems to be the opposite of what many people ( Read more... )

For the record, if LiveJournal actually ends up implementing these changes to the friends page, it might be enough to convince me to fully switch to Dreamwidth ( Read more... )
