Blog Migration

That "before too long" from my last post is looking very soon indeed.

I deleted the few LJ communities I owned, all long inactive. (Pour one out for the Olin College LiveJournal community.)

I migrated comments on old entries to DW and disabled comments on LJ.

I set up my feeds on Dreamwidth, did a more-machete-than-scalpel pruning of my LJ friends list (removing people whose cross-posts I'm following directly on DW now and a lot of accounts that haven't updated in years). That's left the remainder of my LJ friends page very sparse indeed.

Dreamwidth doesn't (yet) support cross-posting to Facebook, but I'm trying to automate that with Zapier.

The Breadth of Hope

In response to recent news of the transfer of control of LiveJournal operations to SUP Media and Terms of Service changes that clarify LiveJournal users are expected to comply with Russian censorship laws, I've migrated my journal to Dreamwidth. I plan to cross-post to LiveJournal for now. I've cancelled automatic payments for my LiveJournal pro account.

I've long been reluctant to leave LJ over one management decision or the other, and I'd still guess that these changes most likely won't have much effect on English-language LJ users. But I really don't want to lose access to my old posts, so better to be proactive about it. And I think my internet presence is already too split, so I may say farewell to LJ before too long. We'll see.
