Fucking god damn.

So who's leaving, who's staying?

I don't want to go. I've been here for almost fifteen years. But if nobody else is going to be here it hardly seems worth it. :(

Oh, and I spent two hours at urgent care tonight. I have a UTI. Yay. Feels swell.

I'd say what else can happen this year but we still have a day to go. Fuck.

I'm probably gone. I've been thinking about it for a while, since there's maybe four of you I still follow over here, and this whole server move/https crap kinda cemented it. Meri says we're being paranoid, but damn, it's not really paranoia when they really are out to get you, yanno?

C'mon over to DW., We've got the best cookies.

I'm staying. I did back up my LJ at DW, but the sense I'm getting from my flist is that while folks are taking the precaution of backing up, no one is pulling up stakes and moving.

Feel better. *hugs*

Ergh. Going where?

Urgent care? UTI? Yikes! Universe, give this woman a break! M.

Dreamwidth, because of this.

More info here.

I hate Chicken Little-ing. But if everyone takes off, I don't want to be the last lonely sod on the field. :(

I know, it suuuuucks!!!! I got some Cipro, though, and hopefully all will be well in a couple of days.

I backed up also. I am not keen to move, and I would prefer not to overreact if there's no reason to. But I don't want to be alone here, either.

Thank you! Hopefully all will be well in a couple of days. *hug*

Oh, boy. Thanks. Super-helpful, especially for the second one on how to back things up.

Tell Nina to baby you these next few days. More snuggling, maybe. :) M.

You're most welcome. I've backed up my LJ to DW - I've had an account there forever, I just never used it. Can't hurt, at the least.

I will instruct her to lavish me with affection. I suspect she will not be averse. :D

I appreciate that you care about other people. I've seen people announce that they're moving to DW and deleting their LJ, which means if I post flocked on LJ, they can't see it. And that kind of consideration seems irrelevant to many. Staying in touch and how best to manage that is important to me.

Staying in touch and how best to manage that is important to me.

Me too. I just don't want to fuck off and go, 'Well, seeya, if you don't have DW, too bad..." or something. I don't want to lose the friends I've made. Maybe crossposting is the best answer. I guess we'll have to see.

Thank you, btw. :)

Not that I post on either journal, really, but I'd decided to close my lj and just have dreamwidth, but I think I've changed my mind. I have back-up the posts et al to dreamwidth and I'll likely delete them on lj, but I'm going to keep the account so that I can stay in touch with friends who aren't moving and can still comment like this.

I've backed up as well. It doesn't hurt. I'm glad you're not closing, and it is nice to be able to comment. I really don't want to have to leave, but if everyone does, I suppose I will too. :-/

Planning to stay, but thinking way more seriously about backing up and doing the cross-posting thing.

In re: UTI, UGH. *gentle hugs* Here's hoping the meds are effective and swift at easing the lousiness.

Glad you're staying! I've backed up myself; can't hurt, if the whole thing does go kaput. Still pondering crossposting.

Thank you! I'm sitting pretty clenched all the time, haha, but hopefully that will ease up in a few days. :D *hug*

What a scary post.

UTI (oh drink lots of water!!) and then take to the gin for all the pother of having to cross post and unload on to Dreamwidth. I do occasionally, but I've NO idea if all my early posts (my poems especially I want to keep) have gone over there.. Must check.

But I WILL NEVER leave LJ... tis MY FRIENDS - and stuff the Russians, they're going to be no bother! As long as they keep us going and don't close LJ down... I'm happy. If the Russians have so much time to spare to go poking into OUR stuff, without messing with Elections in the USA, then they're welcome. I've no doubt its been going on ever since the year Dot.

Every so often I DO post a norty to irritating spams and blogs and stuff and tell them to FUCK OFF and boil heads and so on. Charming me.

Don't worry love, I am stuck here for ever, and I trust that most of your friends will stay too. What's the panic? We've been infiltrated YONKS ago...... How do you say Happy New Year in Russian....

"Счастливые Товарищи! Новый год "

Good Old Google!

I'm staying too! I'll back up at DW (same name as here), but I'm loathe to leave this place and the small, but tight, connections I've established. Should something obviously drastic happen with this site, then I'll reconsider staying, but I don't want to start over elsewhere.

Ugh, UTIs. I hope it clears up quickly!

I got into my Dreamwidth account so I'm here too. I don't know if I should bail on LJ though I cancelled my auto payment renewal. I hope my credit card wasn't compromised.

I'd say hang on to LJ as long as it's not costing you anything. I let my paid account lapse last year. I doubt your credit card was compromised because the payment site was still on an HTTPS server.

I'll let my LJ go to a free account when it expires next year. I don't want to
give them anymore money. I hope you are right and my credit card is okay.

I've backed up copies of my my journal. So I'll keep writing here until it falls apart I suppose.

UGH UTIS SUCK

I'm taking this as the good reminder to back my LJ up, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to delete my entire journal and leave forever. Granted, I'm more of a commenter than a poster at the moment, but I like knowing that it's still here.

I said I was going, but I just can't stay away, it's been home to long. This is not the first Russian threat we've had here and we are still here, so I stay ride it out and keep doing what you're doing. Sorry for your UTI painful that is! Hugs!

Sorry you're unwell. :(

Sorry, what's happening with LJ? Have I missed something?

*puts hand up* Hello, sorry to bother you, but how does one back their journal up onto DW?

Hello! Not a bother!

Here's a link to a Tumblr post (https://meeedeee.tumblr.com/post/155175190776/livejournal-webpages-are-no-longer-secure) that explains a little about what is going on. It has to do with servers and security and honestly, I'm still confused but know that this could be an issue for some users.

Here's a link to DW's instructions on backing up your LJ (https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=127). I did it just over an hour ago and the entries are queued up, but just about everything else made it over.

ETA: Just realized you didn't actually ask me what was going on. I must have seen your comment down below. Oops!
