LiveJournal
Dec. 6th, 2020 04:08 pmSome time ago (2009), just about everyone I knew ditched Livejournal in favor of Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook. The few folks I was in contact with that had stayed, eventually (I wanna say 2012 or 2013), made a big pilgrimage to this place, because it was "more" open source, or 'indie' or whatever.
Now (2020), everyone's grousing about how Tumblr is dead (because they cracked down on the porn, I guess), Facebook and Twitter are 'toxic' due to social politics and whatnot. As far as I know, there hasn't yet been a "New Hotness" in the social media-verse to replace those two - which is why everyone is still ON them, despite how much they claim to HATE them.
A few years back, I had a Dreamwidth, in order to keep up with my friends, but, I didn't like the way this site ran, and never used it, so, I killed it.
Years later, I did the same thing again. (THIS account).
I won't kill this one, just in case all my old contacts remember that they liked this site and LJ for the JOURNAL aspect, not the so-called "social" media aspect.
Still, I probably won't be using this site much at all.
So, if you remember me and wish to re-connect, look for me HERE
Cheers, all.
