The LJ thing

[beer_good_foamy]

So, yeah, once more around the old block.



LJ has been officially (except without official word, obviously, because that would require LJ to actually talk to their users) moved to Russia, and our postings here are now subject to Russian law. Read this roundup by rahirah about what's going on and how you can back up your LJ:

I'm beer_good_foamy on Dreamwidth as well, feel free to add me if you haven't already. I'll keep cross-posting to LJ for now, but you never know.

PS - does anyone know what happens if you import comments from LJ on existing DW posts? I assume they don't overwrite the DW comments?

Appropriate gif, I have thought of that too... *points to icon*

It's incredible. They have the WORST PR team ever. (I forget, have you watched Community? Greendale comparisons abound.)

I'll keep cross-posting too (heck, they've probably downloaded everything they need anyway), but I like having a back-up.

I've watched it enough to get the reference. :) (I keep meaning to watch the whole thing, but I'm waiting for it to show up on Netflix...)

Maybe we should all post some Trump/Putin slash and see what happens. But remember years ago when LJ made their terms of what was acceptable content really fucking vague, and we were told not to worry and just trust them?

Well, it's worth waiting for. Although it's on Netflix here...

Yeah. Ain't life grand? But then, there are murals depiciting their mutual admiration, so...

Though at least Greendale has a dean who's a real actual individual, as opposed to just an anonymous account that never responds to critical questions.

There are a LOT of things on US/UK Netflix that are nowhere to be found on the Swedish one. But at least we pay the same for it! Sometimes I miss the days before digitalisation supposedly made everything so easily available, when all you had was a video store with ten times the selection of Netflix.

And I do love that mural. It's available as a t-shirt (https://www.redbubble.com/people/mindaugasbonanu/works/21905723-trump-kissing-putin?p=t-shirt) as well.

Very true. But the actual people in charge are shady.

And the UK & US ones don't correlate either! I wonder if it's possible to petition for what shows you want or if it's driven by algorithms or what...

Good point.

But you had to leave the house!!

Ha! That's excellent, although I'd never wear anything with that orange cheeto on.
