Yes, I Am Joining

While we can all debate about presidential candidates, the platform we are doing it on, LJ, is getting disturbingly unstable. With seemingly added fun facts of of LJ management not communicating with LJ almost at all.

That paid advertisements for 'curing' homosexuality or autism are now sometimes appearing next to the writings of glbt or aspergers bloggers who opted for a free journal is bad enough, but the censoring of non-wholesome popular LJ interests is disturbing -- and it was no mistake. No comment even made on it either.

None brings the community services that LJ do. One could try the LJ-clones like DeadJournal and InsaneJournal, but you suffer from the (lack of) network effect.

So, what you are saying is that we are trapped here!?!

There are migration tools to take old content and move it to a Wordpress or MT blog. You do lose the LJ community features and access controls, I think.

It would be cool if some kind of migration was planned between all LJ users; everyone convincing their friends to move to a new system.

That would certainly catch the attention of the people running LJ.
