Goodbye, LJ
Mar. 9th, 2022 04:56 pmI have just deleted my LiveJournal account. (I think. Can it really be that easy?)
I didn't do it sooner because -
Well, hello, this is me. I don't let go easily. We had some good times together, and it took me a while to make the switch to Dreamwidth. I kept my LJ because crossposting seemed like a good way of staying in touch with folks there, and I was using a backup programme linked to that account. Neither crossposting nor that backup are now working (and it does look as if that's because of something LJ has done). So there's that.
This will cause broken links in some older posts, which were interlinked. I've been switching those to DW links when I came across them - another reason I was in no hurry to delete my LJ. My apologies to anyone frustrated by this.
This is not some grand gesture of boycott: that would be silly. It's just a piece of housekeeping that I should have got round to earlier.
