it's not me, it's you, it's what you're turning into

A brief update on my status on LJ:

For the time being I will continue to use LJ. I'm not thrilled about this decision given recent developments, but...inertia. I wish I had a better excuse, but, no, it's inertia; I have a lot of history on this journal and I'm reluctant to give it up. I have a permanent account and have since before the Russian handover, so at least they're not getting any money from me, even via advertising.

That said:

I'm in the process of re-importing to my astonishingly underused Dreamwidth account (as is everyone else, so it's going to take some time), and I will make the effort to crosspost new content between the two. I've never gotten into the hang of using DW the way I do LJ, but this might be the push I need. If you're on DW, I'm there as chicafrom3, naturally.

I am active on Twitter, again as chicafrom3, albeit mostly retweeting and currently mostly political stuff; Twitter is where I go to have meltdowns about how the world is ending in the worst ways possible.

I'm also on Imzy, once again as chicafrom3, and while so far I've been mostly a lurker, I'm going to try to be more active; I think I might start using my personal community the way I've been using my LJ. (Sooo...intermittent posts about Doctor Who?)

And I'll continue to be as active on Archive Of Our Own as I have been, which is not very active at all. (I'm detecting a pattern here.)

If you are on one of these sites and would like to be friends there as well, or if you think there's somewhere else on the Internet I should be, let me know.

I'm sticking with LJ too, I understand peoples reson for moving but I've had my account here for more than 10yrs I've found it and the people here a comfort during the stressfull times of my life. Also I just don't like change that much.

I have a DW acount, have had since the early days but I don't use it.

I'm just sad about the whole situation. LJ's been my online home for a ridiculous amount of time, and it's been dying for a long time, but...I don't want to see it actually die. :(
