LJ's Russian overlords have changed the TOS - and the new official version is only in Russian. The short synopsis: They're making a lot of changes tied into Russian law about online content. Adult content ratings, liability for comments on your blog, etc. Oh, and they've hyped up the advertising.

Lots of people talking about backing up their journals and moving to DW; some are going to IJ. Many journal deletions and lockdowns.

So, new people... welcome? DW has been slow but it's very friendly, and it's run by fannish people who want us to enjoy our time here.

I expect we'll start seeing a good influx! I hate that I have to kill my LJ, given it's a permanent account that was a gift...but I'll back it up one more time and then kill it.

I'm so sad. :(

I saw something about a new TOS but I didn't have the mental energy to read it all. What I saw was in English but I don't know if that was an old version or what.

I appreciate the way DW treats its customers, but I wish they had better image and video upload capacities like LJ does. And I wish there was ACTIVITY here.

I'm just talking to myself day after day. It's tiresome.

I hate that I have to agree to the TOS just to get in to delete my posts. I'm going to keep the account empty just so I can read things that aren't found anywhere else.

At least until the site implodes from the rampant assholery.

Well, there goes my 13 year old lj. That I haven't updated in five years. End of an era, really. :/

Blah blah blah Dreamwidth before it was cool etc etc. ;)

I HATE the fact that I have to delete it, but I am NOT going to have Russia have a hand in MY life.

After the dust settles, there should be a friending meme to find old friends and make new ones. :)

Pardon my icon's French, but....
