Sticky: moving to DreamWidth
Apr. 8th, 2017 05:48 pmThe new LJ Terms of Service, though it claims to be legally non-binding, forbids breaking Russian law:
"User shall be liable for breaching the terms and conditions hereof, including the requirements to Registration and Content posting, as well as for violation of applicable laws committed by User, including the laws of the Russian Federation". Also, "Mark Content estimated by Russian legislation as inappropriate for children (0 −18) as “adult material”". I can't promise to do those things -- I don't know Russian law, though I'm told it forbids pictures of Putin as a gay clown.
It's been a good 14 years and I'm as change-averse as anyone. I'll miss giving monthly virtual gifts to
norwoodbridge. But the import is done, and I won't be cross-posting. My username there is the same as here.
Here is a FAQ entry on moving from LJ to Dreamwidth (it works).
Here is a good post on "How to move to DreamWidth and Like It".
I've found as many of my LJ friends there as I can, and my plan is to basically subscribe/grant on DW and at the same time unfriend on LJ; that will let me keep track of who hasn't migrated or created an account there, and encourage me to read DW first.
