More Unwelcome Changes to come at LJ

One thing I didn't mention in my last post is my ever-growing dissatisfaction with Livejournal. It's my main outlet for fandom-based activities. I've got mirror accounts on IJ and DW, but that's all they've been. Just mirrors. That's partially because my fandom activity's gone down the last couple of years and partly because my fandom friends and communities are all on LJ.

As some of you know, my migraines have been getting more frequent in the last couple of years. The new comment system over at LJ is a real problem for me because of that. I'm not comfortable at all with the idea of turning the site into another version of Facebook, either. And frankly, I'm insulted by the statement that LJ's marketing strategy to the US is to attract new users and not to cater to its existing "small but loyal" user base.

DW now has a functional system for importing communities. In 2012, I am going to import my fic and graphics comm over there completely and will be shifting my activity more to DW. I'll leave my LJ here and the content on the comms will stay, but I'm not sure about updates. It'll depend on whether there's a crosspost system for communities.
