To My Friends

Don't give up on LJ.  Please.

Yes, the service is lousy at the moment but that's because it's under attack. LJ is liable to such attacks because it serves as a major platform for the anti-Putin opposition in Russia. Tell yourself you're suffering (if you can call it suffering) for someone else's freedom of speech and bear your discomforts with pride.

I'm kind of with you. The last time this came up, I started a blog somewhere (I don't even remember where). What I DO remember is that I found myself feeling very proud of LJ at the end of it all when I realized people were using it to stand up and speak truth to power.

However, I will consider it, because some of my favorite LJ friends are going, and I don't want to lose them. But that all is dependent on my having the time to set up yet another blog. We will see. Likely, this too shall pass before I have the time to deal with it.

I think we may have come through the worst of the storm. LJ is still a little slow this morning but it's not broken.
