I agree with everything you say there. Permission to repost some content?

shadowwolf13 April 7 2011, 15:32:54 UTC

Of course! I hate to see so many people flocking away just because of a little inconvenience.

glowy_lovers April 7 2011, 15:35:52 UTC

Thank you :)

I find the 'LJ is Doomed!' posts frustrating because it isn't.

Since learning of the political aim of the DDoS, well I want to ensure that LJ continues as a forum for expression of all kinds.

I've been here since 2001, and I'd just as soon not have to uproot, either. However, I wanted to gather everyone's names elsewhere in case the decision to leave comes from LJ getting shut down somehow. I doubt it would get that bad, but better to have it in my back pocket.

That makes perfect sense. I try to keep my name the same everywhere so it's easier for people to find me. :)

Amen.

And now, in the aftermath of the drama, I can get her from work again...

Oh Awesome!!! Yay!

Now it won't be quite so hard for you to keep caught up. :*

I've been here for 8 or more years. I have friends on here that I've known for about that long. I am not going to give that up easily. LJ would have to completely go BOOM! for me to leave. Like, not exist at all anymore.

shadowwolf13 April 8 2011, 03:14:59 UTC

Exactly. It's because of LJ that I have every relationship that I have.

The thing is, the people doing the DDoS crap are trying to get LJ shut down. If everybody leaves then LJ is gone. Right now, the attacks are happening to drive the bloggers to smaller venues where it's easier to target individual bloggers and shut them up. LJ is powerful because it's so large. It's a political issue but so many people are being short sighted and jumping ship. It's walking directly into their hands and tying themselves up.

I hadn't heard that yet, so I found that interesting. I have been in my own little world while the site was down anyway. I haven't been on because of the stupid headaches so I had no clue that was going on.

Either way, they aren't losing me. I couldn't imagine leaving these people.

caersidi April 8 2011, 05:23:57 UTC

So well put!

You go girl! That's exactly how I feel!!

I like DW, it's a different group for me over there. It's a lot more crafty and such. But I love my community over here too. I'm not jumping just because some stupid political issue says I should.

elvenforever April 8 2011, 03:19:39 UTC

I have exactly 2 friends over on DW and one I booted here, LOL. DW means less than nothing to me. If I had to abandon LJ, I'd probably go with my WordPress blog over DW.

shadowwolf13 April 8 2011, 14:55:52 UTC

I like the concept of DW and I keep up with the DW news. They are doing a lot of interesting things, currently in coding work and cleaning up LJ's bad coding from years past.

Though part of what I love about LJ is that if I have a site that I want to keep track of via RSS, I just create a feed for it and I never have to leave LJ. I hate going to multiple sites.
