End of an era.

In a day or two, I will be deleting my permanent account at Livejournal. If you are reading this there, I would ask that you contact me via email (deyaniera AT email DOT com), facebook (facebook.com/miintikwa), or Dreamwidth. Because I no longer trust Livejournal to keep my content safe. I have already deleted most of my images that were there, ( Read more... )

I just now created a DW account. My screen name there is same as here.

I just found you on DW! See you there. Sad day, leaving the LJ.

I think that's just silly. That's the politest way I can put it. Did Russians, or people of any other nationality, refuse to use LiveJournal when it was based in the USA? Of course they didn't.

The USA TOS did not have the discriminatory language in it that the Russian TOS has. I do not want to fall afoul of this new TOS that discriminates against LGBTQ people (which I am), nor do I want to worry about posting a political rant and being accused of "political solicitation," which is defined so broadly my post about my attendance at the Biden rally here in town a few years ago would have been flagged!

It is a scary thing, this new TOS.

I'm planning on creating a DW account. We haven't had a chance to get to know each other here yet, but I hope I can add you there!

Yes! Please do! :)

While I don't use it much, letting go of the tangible investment that is my permanent account is rather difficult, esp when I'll have to pay to use services at DW that I already have here, and the whole transferal process seems daunting, as does setting up semagic to post there. So much for the internet being forever.
