There are tons of things about my childhood I would love to repeat- summer's off, no worries about finances, Verdolini's Pizza- but this whole Russian Scare bullsh*t is not one of them.

Anyone care to weigh in on the LJ stay/go thought trolley? All opinions respected.

I don't know. Most people I follow crosspost to DW already but I would miss the few who don't if I left.

On the other hand, I really don't want to give Russian security agencies any information, even though I don't think I'm doing anything that they would be particularly interested in.

(There are multiple ways to download / make backups of your LJ, btw! Importing to DW is just one of them.)

The idea of loosing friends coupled with random Russians having free access.....shudder.

No personal experience with any of these, but I've seen them linked:

DW is a really good option too, though! Even if you didn't use you account for anything other thank backups. The import tool is easy to use and you can import multiple times, eg. once a year just in case, and it only imports what's been added since your previous backup.
