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.

Date: 2017-01-04 07:46 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2017-01-12 05:48 am (UTC)You know, just the idea that somebody could be randomly riffling through my posts makes me feel really uneasy. And I have so little to be concearned about, really. Just. The whole notion.
Truly- the flashback emotional baggage that comes with all the Russian business does not come with the unwavering bravado of youth. And that sucks. I'm actually getting scared about where it's all going. Not LJ, really (though, dammit, I am so tired of loosing friends because I don't migrate to each new social platform) but the big picture. The things that really matter.
