Wow. LJ has removed the ability to search interests from the navigation bar. WTF?!

They what??? As if it's not already useless enough that searching gives you Russian results that, you know, a hefty number of us cannot read. WTF, SUP?

That's the problem. Everyone who wants to move stays for other people, some of whom also want to move but are staying bc of friends... It will probably take another mass fandom rebellion, like the Strikethrough debacle, for enough people to move. Even then, it would probably be a while before I could let go of LJ entirely. There will always be people worth reading who stay put, and comms that don't have a decent parallel. There's at least one I can think of that would be a such complete and utter PITA to reconstruct that it wouldn't be worth it to even try.
