Livejournal updates!
Jul. 27th, 2011 08:58Despite the fact that I plan to be incommunicado for the next 28 hours as I hit Crisis Panic Study Mode, I couldn't help but keep tabs on the Livejournal fallout because I'm addicted.
Anyway, after googling, binging and checking status.livejournal.com and the LJ twitter feed for a day or so, someone directed me to their facebook, where a lot of discussion is happing on their wall.
(The links do not lead to facebook, FYI.)
So, someone here seems to be translating from the press releases and information in Russian, and it looks like it's another DDoS attack (I'm still fuzzy on what that means) and it's actually pretty intense.
The fact that this information is being released in Russian, but not English is another sign that livejournal is not the place we should be, isn't it? My standard offer of a dreamwidth invite code to anyone who wants to move over here is still open, but it's so flipping quiet here. Most people have already made dreamwidth accounts for various reasons, but I seem the be the only one on my flist who just shrugged and said, "whelp, guess I'll just go hang out in dreamwidth now." Most of you seem to have just vanished instead. *peers at internet* (This does not count the three (?) people who already post over here anyway. I'm specifically talking about people who don't use dreamwidth as a fallback, for whatever reason.)
If LJ isn't back up by the time I'm back online tomorrow, I'm just going to start posting real content here. I've already found a Torchwood community, and I've been a member of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
scans_daily since forever. I could be more active there.
