LJ, Dreamwidth, etc

[rimrunner]

You may have noticed that this journal has crossposted to LJ from Dreamwidth for awhile. I set that up a few years ago because LJ's stability and changes of ownership had me concerned about the platform's viability, and I was still posting/reading often enough that I wanted a backup

Any specific developments making you thinking about jettisoning LJ (speaking as another long-time LJ user)?

I have the same question. I'm a permanent LJ user and love it. I use Dreamwidth as a backup, i.e., I archive there every once in a while.

LJ's servers are now located in Russia. They've been owned by a Russian company for years but until this month the hosting servers were still in the U.S.

You may also notice that https connections to LJ are no longer available.

Ah. Hrm. Thanks for the head's up.
