I've not commented/replied to comments on LJ recently because I don't want to accept the terms of service thing, haha. But what do? I have to accept to even be able to go to LJ and if I accept, I'm definitely just going to delete. How annoying. LJ, why are you the way that you are? :\

AND IT WON'T CROSSPOST THIS FROM DW BECAUSE OF THE TOS THING. OOOH my god.

Yeah, the TOS thing is kind of creeping me out. I accepted, but from here on out I'm going to pretty much only post on DW.

[nanslice]

Yeah I think I'm going to accept just so I can tell my friends over there that I'll not be crossposting. :\

I need to save so many things from LJ, like rants or people's posts that I wanna keep. I feel funny about deleting my LJ forever because I've had it for 15 years, but I don't like what I'm hearing about the new TOS.

For now, I deleted my fic journal and just won't be crossposting from DW anymore.

[nanslice]

The LJ that I currently have isn't the same one I had way back (I deleted that in like 2010) so it doesn't bother me too much to delete. There's not nostalgia or good feels attached to it.

I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do about LJ, so I haven't read this post too closely yet, but maybe something in it could be helpful?

[nanslice]

Thank you for the link!

I'm on the fence about it - I've clicked the box on the agreement, so I could go and see what my LJ-only friends were doing, but most of them seem to be unbothered. I'm not unbothered, but I don't know if I want to delete my LJ just yet. I might shut down cross posting though.

Ugh, so frustrating.

[nanslice]

I'm going to end up agreeing so that I can make a post saying I'll not be crossposting any longer. It's such an annoyance, haha.

[goss]

I've read via network that you can get around agreeing to the TOS by disabling Javascript, then the button won't pop up, and it takes you straight to the log-in page instead.

[nanslice]

That worked to reply to comment but when I tried to make a farewell post, it stopped me from doing so. :\

[divinemusings]

The kicker? The new TOS only applies to Free accounts. All the paid ones are still in the USA. :/ So annoyed.

[nanslice]

What?! That's ridiculous.

[divinemusings]

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I mean, if that's true and it's not just a rumor floating around, but from what I read of the TOS they said something about the new TOS not applying to paid accounts? Or not being legally binding to Paid accounts?

[lassarina]

wait, WHAT? I have a permanent account, so that's actually really relevant to me.

[divinemusings]

That's just what I've seen and understood from my own reading of the tos. I'm not positive though because I don't speak legalese.

[lassarina]

on research, I think it just says our money is still handled in the US. Another DW user I found via network asked them if it applied ot her since paid, and they basically said yep.

I left LJ when it first traded hands, like when DW and the Org opened up. I can say that while the Org has it's issues, it's more mindful of the user base than LJ. If they could just get a good mobile version up it'd be close to perfect.

[nanslice]

I deleted my original journal but I made a new one relatively recently to keep up with some people. But that just means I'll be comfortable deleting all the entries, haha.

[novembermond]

what did you end up doing? my current plan is accept, import, delete. :(
