The State of LiveJournal

[soc_puppet]

I don't know much about what's going on, but I happened to be browsing the comments in the latest dw_news post when this comment went live:

mithrillian: Well, in case you missed it, starting yesterday LJ made it near impossible for the people not resident in Russia to keep posting/commenting (payment and/or verification is now mandatory). Also, some Russian residents don't want to pay/verify just to be able to *comment*. That's why you had 1300+ new accounts yesterday in place of the usual 250 :)

I. Should probably find out if that one community ever got backed up to Dreamwidth. That, or I should go copy-paste my fics from said comm from a million years ago, so I don't lose them forever.

Edit: Fics officially moved! I wonder if the community moderator is still active and would be willing to import the comm over here... And especially the "parent" AU comm.

Uhhh. Ouch. Dang, I've forgotten to do the same for a zillion years, and now it's probably too late... Oh well, I've basically quit LJ a zillion years ago, but I'm sorry it has become a hellscape like so many other sites.

I backed up my journal proper over a decade ago, it's just the bits and bobs I'm missing. Like any comments I left on journals that didn't get migrated over here. Still, I'm saving what I can!

Thanks to your Tumblr post linking to Rahaeli's post on the urgency of the situation, I've managed to completely save the archives of a community of mine!
