muninnhuginnAs I post, I await only comments to come over to Dreamwidth.
With each wave of departures from LJ, I've debated what to do. I was disinclined to move, especially as I've a permanent account and a huge list of RSS feeds (many of which I set up and probably only I use) which I prefer to view in my LJ layout. Also the choice of destination for each wave of departures has never been entirely clear.
Still, continuing to post into an increasingly empty space doesn't really appeal. And I might have considered continuing to (cross)post there just 'cos I was entitled having paid my permanent dues all those years ago. But...
To be seen to in any way to condone cruel and regressive laws covering people's sexuality, gender; to be seen to go along with in any way the stifling of political debate and freedom; no way, José (or, in this case, Putin and co.). I don't much like moving my "stuff" back to a USA-hosted service, either, but, at least if I don't choose to ignore the EULA, I can read it and any relevant laws without the need of a translator.
My LJ will remain for a few days yet. I plan to delete on the 18th May, its 15th anniversary.
