I think that one issue is, with servers in Russia, that the rules about privacy that protect us on US/Canadian servers no longer apply. I don't think it matters much to 99.9% of LJ users, but if you are a) political or b) dabble in fandoms that are less mainstream/have had issues around "is this pedo? is this illegal?" before, that something could happen. (I don't know WHAT. just... delete your journal? turn shit over to the fbi? I know just enough to be freaked out. I need to read more...)
Anyway, I'm going to keep posting at DW with xposts here, but I may turn off comments here, which will suck. But not as much as losing comments if LJ just shuts down.
