LJ TOS stuff - over at DW
It's odd, I actually backed up my blog to Dreamwidth a few weeks ago (was looking up how to transition my blogs to ZeroNet as flat files (Jekyll, Hyde etc), or something non-WP like Ghost, sadly it looked impossible unless I make all my private posts public) and then got a flurry of friendship requests here...thought somehow my update had triggered some notification, whereas actually it was the dodgy LJ TOS I found when I logged into LJ...e.g. http://io9.gizmodo.com/russian-owned-livejournal-bans-political-talk-adds-ris-1794143772
So I think the dodgy nature of LJ re: having to comply with Russian Federation's terrible laws about LGBTQ rights, I will post via Dreamwidth. Certainly it's taken a long time to bite, the naysayers who left for the (arguably worse in some ways?) Facebook and G+ didn't happen until now...I've had a DW account - even probably an Insanejournal one somewhere out there if that's still going - for many years.
So going to switch to the backup for posting, and I recommend you do so too - eventually we'll all be over there, so I can then use that for reading too. Irritating, but good that I won't lose everything if they find the queer stuff I've posted.
