DW

[kellifer]

So I've been reading about the livejournal changes with increasing fretfulness... mostly because I wanted to stick with LJ, I wanted it to be a bitter end type dealie, but the upheavals seem to be enough to prompt people to actually migrate where the blackouts etc couldn't. It *might* be like those times where everyone thought they would have to leave but then no one really did but I just get this feeling that it's bigger than that this time.

I kinda want to hold onto this account until the lights are shut off, but I might start updating my Dreamwidth more regularly (I run an import every few weeks, or MEAN to but the last one I left for longer than that) or work out this crossposting thing. I LIKE my LJ, it's taken me a long time to get it exactly the way I want it and I resist change at the best of times (which is kinda funny, since my job is Change Management... heh).
I also just... don't want to be forced into a tumblr like I was forced onto facebook. >:/ (There's only so many invites you can completely miss before you admit defeat).

Anyway, I'm kellifer over there. Let me know if I've missed subscribing you back, or you have a different ID on there.

In better news, first marvel_bang posting day in T-9ish hours (I have to wait to get home from work, boooo!).

This change is devastating to me. I am HYPER anal about my flist and how it looks/how I read it, and if LJ takes that away from me, I don't know what I'll do. There will be no reason for me to keep a paid account (and now the rumor is that they're going to do away with paid accounts, anyway?? UGH). IDK, I've stuck around through a LOT of sky-falling drama and angst, but this might be the final straw for me. I'll still be around, but probably crossposting to Dreamwidth and/or Tumblr.

It's so depressing. :(

I knooooow. If they'd just kind of maintained status quo - or offered the tumblr look as an alternate profile you could choose, no problem. I don't think the changes will worry me too much but I like having everyone *here* and trying to keep up with people over multiple platforms just... ugh.

I'm going to make sure I keep my DW up to date but I'm going to stick it out as long as I can.

At least there was some clarification on the paid account thing on the LJ-releases. They're not doing away with paid accounts.

Well...I guess that's nice? But without being able to customize my flist, there's still no reason for me to keep my paid account. :(
