Has LJ been assimilated?

Okay... I guess that means I have to migrate my journal to Dreamwidth now. *sigh* One more task I don't really have the time for.

Arrrgh.

arrrgh, lj

Yes, pretty much; and even if privacy concerns were not your bag, the bigger issue is FB's TOS and tyrannical policing of content. I can't wait until some happy-go-slashy fan cross-posts x-rated stories or images to both her LJ and FB and gets both her accounts shut down/deleted because of TOS infringements via FB.

I think most of fandom does not really appreciate the implications of this move by LJ, they are just "well I don't use FB so it doesn't matter to me." It will when their favorite comm gets shut down because of it.

I'm over on dw: http://kimboosan.dreamwidth.org/
I still check my flist here, but I do not post here any more except for the rare public-level cross post.

Eh, I'm not too stressed about it. Not because I think it's good or anything but because I don't HAVE a facebook, so I can't exactly accidentally crosspost something and if someone crossposts a public post of mine, well, it's the freaking internet. People can do that ANYWAY just not with such handy buttons. The one issue I do hope they sort out is it looks like there might be an issue with flock-breaking if the person crossposting already has access to flocked content, but I'm a bit hazy on that and my flist is maniacally small and, well, AGAIN, people can flock break if they choose to already, it just requires copy-pasting instead of a helpful button ( ... )
