The reaping.

Just did a big cut of my friends page on LJ. Mostly journals and communities that haven't been updated in a long time, people who are also on Dreamwidth and I follow there, and a huge number of feeds that I either follow on Facebook or Twitter or ones I no longer have interest in.
In the next few weeks I'm going to disable commenting on my LJ posts and direct all comments to my Dreamwidth account. I'm gridlore on DW as well. I strongly encourage every one still using LJ to come to DW. Much better, in my opinion.
Frankly, LJ has gone to shit since the Russians took over. Terrible support, constant DDOS attacks by government hackers, not enforcing their own rules, and let's face it; most of the once vibrant communities are like Rome in the 5th Century CE: isolated survivors squatting in the ruins.
Livejournal had a good run; but I feel that its time has passed.
