Considering migration

Jan 21, 2012 20:03

Not physical, though I'd love to if I could take my children with me. Since that ain't happening soon, and because LJ is being a dick one time too many even for me, I'm probably migrating my journal to Dreamwidth and staying put there. No, I won't crosspost, I don't want to bother learning how and I won't be following comments both places anyway. ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I probably won't be in touch with you, then. (Nothing personal - I just can't deal with yet another site to follow.) But I wish you well and certainly will be thinking of you! (And hopefully might see you in person at some point to catch up!)

I understand about not wanting to follow another site. I'll keep the account here, and I believe it sends me email if someone leaves me a private message here, so if you want to reach me for some reason, please just leave one; it'll get through!

I have the same username there, though I haven't used DW for anything serious nor have I yet set up a friendslist. If you add me, I'll have a reminder to start my own. (I understand crossposting is trivial once set up and fairly simple to set up, but since I haven't done so, treat those as the hearsay they are.)

I might try it once I get comfortable with the site, we'll see. Not making promises.

I'll add you there, thanks for the info.

When I get up there I could help you set up crossposting; it's easy. And there are always going to be people who don't want to switch. Not yet, anyway.

*shrugs* Your journal; you don't have to.

That would be pocketnaomi.dreamwidth.org if people find it easier to follow a link.

I should mention that crossposting is also a painless way to notify your friends list that you've moved; you can disable comments on the LJ side to force them to comment on DW.

And since I stupidly replied before checking the link, it's http://pocketnaomi.dreamwidth.org

I'll see if I have the energy. If not, either we can do it another visit after this looming concert is over, or else I can ask technoshaman.

*nods*

Nice thing about crossposting from DW is that you only have to do the setup once. After that it's automatic, and DW is more stable than LJ so it's less likely to be down or flaky when you want to post.

I am there, same user name. I do both, the cross-posting is not too terribly hard to deal with, but yes, dealing with comments both places... *hugs*
