I keep meaning to make an actual post, but... keep getting sidetracked.
So this is just a post to say that I have backed up my LJ on Dreamwidth - it's![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
allfireburns, just like here - and will be crossposting from there from now on. You'll still see posts on this journal, and you can comment either here or there, but between LJ's recent genderfail and their frankly idiotic "holiday promotion", I feel safer having a backup and a different home base for my journal.
(Re: LJ's genderfail: Yes, they did roll back those intended changes. However, I do not believe it was a mistake, as LJ would like you to believe, and the fact that their "apology" took the tone of "we're sorry some evil person is misleading you by READING THE CODE WE PUT IN THE CHANGELOG" rather pisses me off.
Re: LJ's "holiday promotion": this and this sum up my feelings on the matter. Anything else I could say would rapidly devolve into something like "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU ARE YOU STUPID?" in LJ's general direction.)
If anyone would like a Dreamwidth account and doesn't have one, I have 10 invite codes available and can always request more. Just ask. And if anyone has a Dreamwidth account they'd like me to be subscribing to over there (with allfireburns - I've already got a few of you on my writing journal,mortalcity), let me know! (By the way, Dreamwidth has no holiday promotion, but ETA: Dreamwidth does have a holiday promotion, and their paid accounts have 100 icons and are $35 - the same amount as an LJ paid account + extra userpics. And if you really want, there is the option to upgrade to 250 userpics. I love Dreamwidth.)
...I swear I'll be making an actual entry at some point. Man, I suck at this journalling thing lately.
EDIT: Someone on DW pointed out that they do have a holiday promotion (see above). God, if it weren't for most of my friends and all the comms I love being on LJ, I would camp out at DW and never leave.
