Anyone still on LJ?

[rogueslayer452]

In light of recent events, by that I mean the abrupt changes this site has made and causing much kerfuffle by the majority of its users despite them not really giving a damn about our concerns, there's been a massive amount of non-activity, at least from my observation via my own friendslist. Everyone seems to have migrated elsewhere, be it Tumblr or Dreamwidth, or just aren't online anymore these days or just up and deleted their journal for good. Of course it's not all due to the stupidity of these changes, some people have just moved on and that's fine, but having been on LJ since 2003 I've come to know many amazing people and seeing them not online anymore, no word on where they went, just makes me kinda sad.

If you're still here give a shout-out. Also, if you're located elsewhere, let me know those as well.

I'm mostly on Tumblr these days: cylon-angel

I'll still be posting here, obviously. I still hate what this site has done (and continues to do) and part of me wants to just switch over to Style 2 so I can get a customized layout so I don't have to deal with the stupidity of the comments section or how the entries look in my journal. Of course, I don't know what that would cost me (if I change it will I get the original back if I don't like S2?) Or should I switch everything over to DreamWidth instead? Just, gah. Idk. :/

It HAS seemed quieter recently!!! Glad it's not just me noticing that.

S2 IS THE WAY TO GO, BB. I've been on lj for Way Too Long too, and i've been S2 for donkey's years now. Way better functionality, no crazy bullshit with the new changes so long as you customise your layout and comment sheets, and just generally better all over than S1.

At first I thought it was just me too, like if it depends on the fandoms and which people on your friendslist are still active or of like interests anymore. But it's almost everywhere I go now on LJ. Even certain communities I follow have gotten quiet due to inactivity from most of its members.

I'm seriously considering switching over to S2, tbqh. I'll admit to being nervous since I haven't really changed anything from this layout for a long time since I was quite comfortable with it (same with keeping the older version of LJ, the Dystopia style, back when LJ actually gave a crap about allowing options for their users when they made changes) But yeah, I need to upgrade and change certain things because if they're not going to fix this bullshit, I'm going to have to work around their system.
