Realizing ...

[scottishlass]

I just realized while setting up my dreamwidth account, that this year, to this very month, my live journal account is 9 years old. I started LJ on 1st of September 2001.

With the current nebulous status of whether or not our entries are safe here on LJ, I have set up a mirror account on dreamwidth. Same user name, and importing all entries with the same bells and whistles and protection. So ppl migrating from LJ can keep in contact with me. http://scottishlass.dreamwidth.org/

I've got a backup account on DW, and I added you to my circle there.

But you're not leaving LJ, are you?

I'm still hoping they'll sort this shit out since it's such a "success" with people. I don't really feel like setting up another blog somewhere else.

Naw, the dw account is only for those leaving LJ and trying to keep updated on my blog :)

What's happening? I've been out of the loop because I just moved and don't have inet access for the time being.

Six Apart who owns LJ has aquired Twitter and is now running a repost and pingback of ALL (and I mean ALL) entries and comments made on LJ to Twitter and Facebook. You have to deliberately turn OFF the settings otherwise even protected entries will show up on your Facebook wall or on Twitter. Ppl are so pissed off atm that they are leaving LJ in bunches.
So in order to keep in contact with ppl who left LJ and moved to dreamwidth, I have made a mirror for my LJ so they keep in touch with me. A lot of ppl are doing so ...

Thanks for explaining :)
And *sigh* will the LJ people ever learn...
Good thing I for one have neither a facebook nor a twitter account :D?

just curious... did you pay or got an invitation?? because I'd create one but don't want to pay for now :S

They allow code sharing now ... go here http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org/ and ask for a code or take one that was not used.

I've created an account already using the same username I have here ;) and added you to my circle... I'm still trying to figure out how everything works... however I really want to keep my LJ and using it... I created that one just in case ;)

Thank you! ;)

I'm planning on staying on LJ as well, but since I've got a backup account on DW, I added you to my circle :).

I just added you to my circle there (sparksofember) though I haven't finished setting up over there or really done anything with it yet. I read your explanation of what's going on - I had heard that something was going on but didn't know what - thanks for clearing it up!
