I did not want to do this, but.

With ongoing LJ fail -- it's not a surprise that their staff can comment in people's locked posts, but the fact that they do is another matter all together -- I've decided to speed up the process of moving properly to DW. So as of now, comments on LJ are closed.

I know that this is a dealbreaker for some people on my flist, and others are simply put out at the perceived extra work in using OpenID to leave a comment. To the first category, I can only say that, while I like you a lot, I don't share your opinions, and weaning myself off LJ is important to me.

To the second category, I would like to point out that OpenID is easy and secure -- I use it across many blogging platforms, and have never had even a hint of a security problem -- and once your OpenID account is set up, commenting on DW requires exactly the same amount of clicks as on LJ.

For now, my LJ flist and comm memberships remain the same. Also I have three invite codes for DW:

I took the bottom one.

Yay- I hardly ever get to use my openid! I'm still figuring out how it works...

I cannot believe that lj would allow their staff to peruse locked entries.. I'm astounded and it's certainly making me rethink the whole lj thing again.. *sigh*

I find it troubling too. I'm not surprised they'd have access, but it worries me that LJ took a whole month to follow up on it, and then, it seems, only because the person in question made a highly visible complaint.

[renae.myopenid.com]

Yeah, it definitely gives the impression that it's 'normal, acceptable behaviour' of their staff until LJ are at risk of looking wrong. Creepy.

Will you be cross-posting still or RSS feed?

I meant to ask - could you add me over here if possible? Thank you! I miss the snarky bookshop tales.

[sianmink]

As long as I can still read you on my livejournal feed, s'all good.

[chocolatepot]

D: D: D: D: I'm unlikely to totally move over to DW because of the time it would take, but man this is bringing me way closer to it.

[fannishnonsense]

The whole thing is just really disturbing. And creepy. Ick.

Also, if you run out of invites and anyone else wants one I have a few. Just let me know.

[eight_of_cups]

Thought I'd pop over here and resurrect my languishing DW account -- I'm penwiper26 at LJ. I haven't contemplated making a big move over here yet, but it takes me a long time to do these things. :)

[rj_anderson]

Well, it's a good thing I have a DW account then! Though this is probably the only thing I'll ever use it for, being far too lazy to move...

[alienist]

I don't share your decision - yet - but I certainly understand it. I just...good lord, ew.

[falena]

One day I'll be brave enough to take the plunge too. I want to close comments on LJ too but I'm too much of a wimp. *looks up to you*

[melyanna]

Then can you add me over here? I think I failed to answer your poll a while back about DW access.

(Also: eew, LJ. Eew.)

[ricevermicelli]

I took the top invite code. Thank you!

[akashasheiress]

Understandable.

[biichan]

I'm actually kind of glad you did this. Because now I don't have to always debate with myself which journal to reply to you in.

[skywaterblue]

This. I'm thinking of doing it for my own, actually, since I don't get that many comments in either anymore.

[dancesontrains]

Perhaps I should consider stopping comments there for locked posts, too. Uggh.

[fahrbotdrusilla]

that is really creepy D:

[fyrdrakken]

Oddly enough, your comment regarding this on Twitter is what prompted me to import my LJ to DW this morning. (Aside from the eleventy-billion 170 LJ icons, since I don't have a paid DW account -- yet.) I might even start double-posting, if I can find an easy way to do it webposting.

[ceebee_eebee]

Forgive me for being dense, but will I still be able to see your posts on my friends list? I have no clue how all this works.

More and more people seem to be moving over here, I suppose because lj keeps giving them more and more reasons... I'm not hugely sociable on either lj or dw, but I added you a few years ago for the Who meta -- and lately loving the ST:TOS lols -- and would like to continue following you here (in case you were wondering why a randomer subscribed to you anyway. I'm trying to be less lurky with people on my flist/circle, but I'm still shy).

[infiniteviking]

Egad. Thanks for the links; that's atrocious and I quite understand your eagerness to get the heck out of there. >/

[evilgeniuslady]

I guess I'd better start using my DW account, eh? Oh well. No time like the present...

[onomatopoetry]

If you have more people asking for invites than you have invites, I have 5 that I won't be using. Just let me know.
