does this thing still work?

[ladymercury_10]

so I was going to make a catching up post bc I disappeared forever but then! lj has again found ways to scare off everyone who still wants to use it!

how many of you are moving to dreamwidth or just jumping ship altogether? leave me a comment w/ your dw name and/or your tumblr url so we can stay connected? and you can add me on either site, I have the same username on both.

also if you're not leaving and just want to say hi, please do. :)

Comments

Hi! :D

I'm going to stay, mostly for the iconing community which doesn't seem to exist on DW. I have a DW account (same username) which I never use though.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Hey! ^_^

Glad to hear you'll be here. I have a DW but I haven't logged in for like forever, even to back up my lj.

[elisi]

Hi!!

Staying put, but have been crossposting for a while, and I'm also elisi over there if you want to add me. :)

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Cool, if I move towards DW I will keep that in mind! :)

[eve11]

Hi! I'm staying. I'm too stubborn to move.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad you'll be here!

i'm backing things up, but i'm not leaving until they literally pull the plug on service. and honestly, the new TOS for 98% has nothing to do with fannish communities or english-speaking journals, which sup probably gives zero fucks about; it has some unpleasant implications for russian-speaking politically-minded bloggers, but it's a completely different kettle of fish.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're sticking around! <3

[promethia_tenk (from livejournal.com)]

I'm gone, but I'm glad to hear you're still alive!

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

You as well! How are things over on DW? I have never spent enough time there to get a feel for the community at large.

[hamsterwoman]

Hi! :)

I'm staying here, but friended you on DW just in case

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Yay! If I go scope out DW (I haven't logged in over there in forever) I will def add you back. :)

[awakenyourfaith.livejournal.com]

Hello! :)

I'm not leaving anytime soon. I do have a DW account, but I don't use it much. I've added you there.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Hey! Good to know. If I ever log into my DW again I'm glad I'll be able to find you then!

[lilacsigil.livejournal.com]

I'm only posting over at DW now, but I will continue to read here. Also, I love your icon!

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Are you cross posting from DW?

Thank you! Yours is super pretty as well!

[lilacsigil.livejournal.com]

No, I'm just going to post on DW.

[st-aurafina.livejournal.com]

We're friends over there already, yay! I'm still going to be cross-posting for the time being, but I might change that in the future.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you'll be around somewhere or the other. :)

[giallarhorn.livejournal.com]

Haha, I guess you picked a good time to semi-return before coming back to tumbleweeds over LJ?

I don't think I'm moving entirely, but there seems to be a definite shift of people to DW, and others saying that they'll crosspost from DW, etc. Not quite critical mass, but starting to approach, so I may follow suit and just x-post from DW to LJ? But then two platforms to keep track of, blarg.

I'm still giallarhorn on DW, and everywhere else I can grab the name, really. And I think I'm already following/vice versa on tumblr?

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Haha I guess at least I won't come back and wonder where everyone went. :P

Yeah, the two platforms is the thing that really holds me back. And LJ just feels more natural to me even though the interfaces are essentially the same.

I know we're mutuals on Tumblr and if I ever head to DW I will add you there as well. :)

[giallarhorn.livejournal.com]

Haha, you would at the least have a bit of a mystery on your hands wondering where everyone suddenly vanished to :p

I think DW's interface feels more clunky than LJ's. Which isn't to say LJ has that great an interface, but you don't want to be worse.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Hi!!!

*HUGS*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Hey! <3

[welshgirl15.livejournal.com]

I'm still hanging around here, although don't really post much any way!

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Good to know you're still around!

[pax_athena]

I'm pax_athena over on DW, too <3 I don't think I have you there yet - add me?
Otherwise I am staying here, but cross-posting because I don't want to miss a few people who went DW-only.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Can you x-post to dreamwidth from lj yet? or only the other way around?

I haven't logged in to DW in forever but if I ever make it over there I can add you back!

[pax_athena]

Just the other way around :( I would much prefer the LJ interface alas ...

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I prefer LJ too. They're not even that different but LJ just feels a lot more natural to me.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

I added you on Tumblr and if I ever go to DW I will add you there as well. I know, leaving LJ seems really sad, and watching other people leave sucks too. :/

[batmarg.livejournal.com]

I'm not moving, but I check over on DW a day a or so a week anyways, so I may up that. Added your DW. I'm batmarg there too. I tried to add your tumblr but it claimed you weren't there...

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

I basically never check DW but it's good to know you're there if I try to move! My tumblr probably bounced because it's ladymercury-10 and not ladymercury_10--the hyphen and the underscore are treated as the same on LJ but not on tumblr.

[batmarg.livejournal.com]

Yep, that fixed it. I'm following your tumblr now.

[locker-monster.livejournal.com]

I'm here to stay for the foreseeable future. I do have a DW account under the same name, but all I've done so far is import entries up until the end of the last year. I did figure out how to add people to my circle of friends, so I've added you if you don't mind.

I'll get the hang of DW at some point, but that day is not today.
