The LJ thing

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?

Hi, do not wish to be creepy. I'm reading through friends of friends as LJ catastrophes always have a morbid fascination for me. Anyway, hello, and I can tell you that if you import your LJ comments to DW, DW will merge the two. Nothing gets overwritten. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you have some trouble with it right now as their servers are probably being slammed (again, you won't loose anything, but don't be surprised if it stops on you in the middle. Just run the import again if that happens.)

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.
