An Issue Of Freedom Of Speech

[poliphilo]

 Listen folks, this is not the time to quit LJ.

This article  explains what is going on.  LJ is the main platform for free speech in Russia, the hackers are trying to take it down. If we withdraw our custom we're doing exactly what the bad guys want.

Hang on in there.

Hanging in, Tony! Much as I like Face Book, they don't allow me enough space to write some of the longer posts I have entered in Live Journal in the past. Although I have hit a temporary writers block I fully expect to be writing in my journal again -- and it will be Live Journal when I do.

I back up my LJ entries by copying them out onto a flash drive. I do this every six months or so. The reason? About a dozen years ago I was host on a MyFamily.com page. We had great participation from all of my relatives close or distant who were on line. Suddenly the site went down, and so did our posts - and all the photos everyone had shared. I also save great posts from LJ friends on the flash drive. Every so often I boot up the flash drive and review my years on LJ. I treasure these posts, yours and mine, and would really hate to lose them.

That's a good idea. I like the idea of my posts surviving on your flash drives :)

I've never bothered with Face Book. Like you I like to be able to write at length every now and then.

I notice that Ailz seems to be a lot more comfortable writing on FaceBook than in here. I've actually cross posted with her in there, as I do with you in here.
