Oh, looks like LJ is back up after it was down all morning. I'm gonna go through my profile and see if there aren't a couple more journals I can follow on DW instead.

An appeal to fic writers: please, crosspost your fic! At least to one other site. AO3, ffn, DW, anywhere not LJ... just so there's a backup.

I hate to say it because I've been on LJ for ages and had some good times here but I really feel that LJ is going down the drain. Definitely headed in a drain-adjacent direction, between the constant DDOS attacks and

igrick sabotaging the site from within. (And you know, the more I think about it, the less sure I am that's just a crazy conspiracy theory, considering that the features that were broken on purpose were those that benefitted community building and discussion. And that apparently the Russian-language users aren't any happier with the changes than we are.)

I am so happy I finally moved over here. It's such a relief not to feel...attacked? disregarded? maliciously ignored? Whatever it is LJ's doing. Dreamwidth LIKES us.

And I've noticed that LJ hasn't said a word about the fixes to the new comment scheme after those two initial posts back in December.

Oh, you're posting on DW too I see. Switching you over then...

And I've noticed that LJ hasn't said a word

Yep. Their silence makes the whole thing so much more annoying.
