reddragdiva: (flame war)

I see everyone's fleeing from LJ in horror. Press the magic button to flee, it works very nicely. Then go back to LJ and tick "Minimize my journal's inclusion in search engine results." Then if you have any money, give them a bit, servers cost money. To do: reconstruct my LJ network on DW.

It is important to keep in mind at all times that DW is not the Platonic ideal of a journal network more perfect than you ever imagined, and that its owners are fallible humans. e.g. There are damn good reasons why the "trusted by" list on profiles should be concealable (read down to last paragraph) — but [staff profile] denise (owner) has decided the notion is probably Hitler. I do see the point of not implicitly promising security you can't deliver, but "you could probably derive bits of it by extreme effort, so let's make it big and public!" is a strange answer that suggests this is a personal sore spot, and not something amenable to reasoned discussion. Perhaps I'm over-reading.

In any case, be just as ready to up sticks from DW as you were from LJ. (Assuming getting your data out is available. Open Core FTL!) It's probably got at least three years until it sucks.

Been writing NewsTechnica again. Add [syndicated profile] newstechnica_feed (or [livejournal.com profile] newstechnica) for updates as they happen.

Today I didn't even attempt to go to work. It's nice having a job where you can work at home pretty much at whim. You?
