Back Again
A rather long time since I last posted.
I've been thinking a few times that the Livejournal format has a few advantages (compared to the rest of modern Social Media).
My rationale behind this has been the postimg options:
private
friends only
friends of friends
public
I've felt from about 2 or three years in that Facebook had various 'privacy creep' aspects which are important to people in various ways and priorities.
'Pre-Musk' Twitter (X) used to work if you had a theme or followe / following symbiotic community, but it becane toxic etc.
A few things in my life changed since I last posted - I yearn for a simpler and 'genuine' nostalgia, whilst still looking forwards.
The Goth scene introduced me to Livejournal in the early days of the Internet - ironically for an online system, the 'community' we had actually knew one another (or knew of) in real life.
Slimelight London and the MancGoths (and Whitby) featured quite a bit - together with folks musings, interests and feelings...
