Migration to Dreamwidth

[elrhiarhodan]

I think it's time, guys. Time to move this community over to Dreamwidth and mirror back here. It's going to take some time and effort and it's going to basically mean that everyone will need to post on Dreamwidth

Comments

But keeping the LJ account "live" will mean that no one will ever really migrate.

I don't see the point of forcing people to migrate. DW limits my ability to get email updates. If at some point you close the LJ blog, I will not be able to follow this community.

If you don't close it, then why prevent people from commenting here?

Have you read the new terms of service?

Basically LJ is enforcing Russian law on all users now. Journals with unacceptable content will be closed/deleted. And there is a lot of unacceptable content in this community.

I've never had a problem with getting email updates from DW - and I really like their ability to reply to comments directly with an email, not in a reply screen.

So now I really don't see the problem. If you believe LJ will close down this blog anyway, then there's really no reason to force people to migrate, the Russian government will do it for you.

I'm just pointing out a fact - DW limits my notifications more than LJ does, and that means I'll have to limit the communities I'm following.

I use both so it's not a huge deal... I've seen various things about the fact that Russian law is going to be followed and some people are worried about the potential for fines if laws aren't followed. I'm not sure if that is a possible issue but I'd rather be safe than have to fight the Russian court system about a fine. I've learned that you need to cover your ass. I'll follow the community when it gets set up. I wish that it was a little more concise as the wording is such that no one really reads those things.

I will follow the comm to DW no problem, it's better to be safe than sorry :)
