After a night's sleep, I think maybe I dislike SUP more than whiny fandoms.

Anybody else considering jumping ship?

I'm a little less willing to abandon my permanent account than you are. I'm not too bothered by SUP, besides the Russian friend-spam.

I've been barely using LJ anyway as it is for especially the past year because I don't want to contribute even my words to SUP. I also feel like I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of my perm.acct, but I got it WAY back in one of the first rounds of selling them ever. I know it's prolly a little weird to be political about social networks, but then I deleted my Myspace when Murdoch took over, so it's par for my course. Leaving out the whiny fandom element, I really do like a lot of DW's stated values and goals, and I'm willing to give them a chance. SUP has burned up pretty much all the good will I could muster for them. :(

I'm thinking about it. The real problem is that I feel like I need a good unified location for my presence, and I'm not a huge fan of all the current options - I want a location that I own, not one that's likely to implode overnight.

Unfortunately, I also want one with good network effects. It turns out the two are, at the moment, pretty mutually exclusive.

Yeah, I totally hear you there. I'm still going to have a "proper blog" and personal journal on my own domain, but as anthologie pointed out to me, there's also a place and a use for a social network blog with protection levels for sharing certain things, and I DO honestly miss that aspect since I've been on LJ-break. Also you can cross-post and cross-share from DW to LJ, see comments above.

I used to care about when I thought I had something to say. Now I don't. *shrugs* I have nothing to say to the rest of the world in this format anymore that a kajillion other chain smoking blue monkeys have not alread said, are not already saying now, or will be saying in the future. I keep all of it to myself in a Tiddlywiki instead. Even THAT has sparse entries. I mouth off over at Facebook, but I don't even try to pretend I have something of substance to say to people over the internet anymore.

As you know, I use this for a single purpose now anyway, so I had sort of given up on LJing a long time ago.

Will your DW have an RSS feed, because I'll read it then. Otherwise, not so much no picking up yet another thing.
