TBH, I don't like DW and have a hard enough time remembering to check up on the meme when it's here on LJ. It'd slip my mind completely if it were moved, likely.
Tbh that was one of my concerns too, since the only time I remember to use lj is if they email me notifs lmao. I was opposed with moving at first, but since everybody i know is pretty much using it and a lot of people suggest it i thought it wouldn't be bad to give it a try, but personally I would want to stick to the comforts of lj, all of it's shitty updates and all but we'll see!
Yeah, I actually believe that the people who changed lj will realize that they did something incredibly stupid and change it back lol but this journal will still be here if the move goes on!
Personally, I see LJ a lot more comfortable, especially as someone who is neither familiar nor savvy with Dreamwidth but has been a part of the kink meme since its heyday. However, I know that the meme is becoming difficult now because, even with subject lines back, threads are now harder if they get too long (pun sort of intended lol).
I would say, stay and wait it out, but if LJ doesn't realize how idiotic they've been or somehow makes things even worse, we may have to move.
One of my concerns is, what happens to in-progress fics in the case that we move?
that's what i thought at first as well, that if we moved to another site that people aren't comfortable with then people would lose interest.
however, people started to leave suggestions to moving to a new base, so i wanted to see what other people thought about it!
i originally planned on waiting it out (because i'm a hopeful individual) but if people want to temporarily move for the time being than that's fine with me too, though it's a lot of work and idk what will happen if lj DOES decide to change itself back.
with on-going fics, as i said, all of the comments will be imported to dreamwidth, so the fic will also be there, the only trouble with that is that you'll have to find the comment again. however, i'm pretty sure (not 100% tho) that dreamwidth comment pages are exactly like lj's so whatever page it is here, it'll be the same there!
I vote that we stay. Mostly because I'm much more used to LJ than I am Dreamwidth and I think that there are a lot of people who feel the same way. For now, we can try and tough it out and see if LJ smartens up, but if worst comes to worst, I suppose we'll just have to pack up and move. ):

It's time consuming and nerve consuming trying to find someway to 'fix' LJ stupid 'improvements' to it, so maybe moving is really the best option.
My only suggestion is not to delete this journal when moving over, and keep it as a copy of the new active meme at DW.
And now:
Happy Holidays!!
