LiveJournal is Dead.

If you are reading this and have a LiveJournal, go and delete it immediately. The new terms of service are binding only in Russian, so we have no clue what's actually in them. This is the final straw.

Ever since the sale to the Russians, LJ has slowly become unbearable. Good riddance.

Likely it's an agreement that to continue with LJ there must be no criticism of Russia, Putin or Trump. o.O

I've not gone all the way to deleting mine, but it's "closed" - I'll not be posting there anymore.

The fun thing is, you can still find Dreamwidth's original “vision statement” - as the name suggests, they'd hoped to become a sort of Deviantart, an artists' colony.  But they're all from LiveJournal originally, and when LJ began shaking the tree that concept was abandoned in the face of the refugee flood and they perforce simply became “LiveJournal II.”

Now, as they said, they're getting a second wave of Russian-speaking users and they're dealing with that as best they can!

Sing it, brother!
