DW and the future.

[rogueslayer452]

Here is my DW account.

With everything going on and the uncertainty of things, I've decided to finally back things up there. I'll still be posting here for the time being since I'm in the middle of setting up and figuring things out over there, and I'll most likely be posting the same content on both accounts during this period (since crossposting isn't available anymore), but eventually I will be on DW entirely.

(Note: I have tried to import my entries, but they have failed/aborted multiple times, some have said that they've had the same issue with entries/comments, this seems to be an issue on LJ's end and I don't know whether or not it'll be fixed. On one hand I don't necessarily mind starting completely over on DW, however I've been on LJ since 2003 and would love to at least preserve the memories of nearly twenty years of being on this site. So a part of me is kicking myself for not backing things up sooner.)

If you have a DW account, let me know and I'll add you.

Importing entries/comments seem to only work sometimes, depending, like it's a guessing game on whether or not it'll succeed, and I've seen different people say that it worked for them after some time, like weeks of the request to import failed until somehow, miraculously, it did. It's very broken and unreliable, so I'm just going to keep trying and hopefully it'll work.

(The problem is that I have nearly 20 years worth of entries, and I don't want to lose any of that, and if there is another method of backing it all up elsewhere I'm all for it, because as much as I'm sure people don't go looking back at a post I made in like, say, 2005 or something, I still want to preserve it for myself, y'know?)

Ah ok that sounds like my experience when I first tried to back it up years ago, lol...so maybe that isn't related to recent developments! I do remember I emailed the help desk and like a long time later someone there finally fixed things, I got a real email from a person.

And yup, LJ is my most consistent diary attempt, so I don't want to lose anything either.
