[Poll]: Where do we go from here?

[thefourthvine]

Okay, I've put this off long enough. (Hi, my name is TFV, and I'm totally change-phobic. I hold the regional title for hiding-head-in-sand, and am a certified expert in change denial. Need mentoring in the fine art of fearing change? I am here for you.)

Seems to me that, what with the ever-changing and quite confusing ToS on LJ, it's only reasonable for me to do something besides post all my content to LJ and just kind of hope I don't lose it. (Yes, I have backups, but not, at this time, a real offsite backup.) But, of course, I'm waffling on what I'm going to do. When in doubt, poll!

Also, every day I'm seeing deletions and departure notices, and I kind of want to figure out where everyone is going before you're all, you know, gone. I realize I'm too late to catch the first wave of LJ departures, so if any of you cross-post or do newsletter things or also journal on another service, I'd really appreciate a link. (This isn't just for people on my friends list, by the way. There are journals I read that I don't have friended, after all.) So, again, a poll seems like a good way to collect information.

I know people who don't have LJ accounts anymore - as in, deleted or suspended - can't actually take the poll. In that case, feel free to answer whichever questions you choose (including, ideally, the location of your journal-type content and your fanworks) in the comments. Anonymous commenting is on. If you can't do that, either, then feel free to email me. I want to know where you are!

It's probably getting really boring seeing polls like this all over your friends list. I'm sorry. But I don't want to lose my content or my community, so - well, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take mine. (If it makes you grouchy, there's an option in the poll to tell me to just quit LJing. Feel free to use it!)

I've got two years of paid time left on this journal, so, it's not going away, but I'm pretty much cross posting now, and the only problem thus far is that Greatest Journal doesn't send notifications when someone comments, ergo, that one's not getting a lot of my attention. I check it about once a day. A lot can happen in two years so, we'll see. I may have hied mysefl to a nunnery before this all falls out.

Anyway, fic, as always is on my journal, and I'm still reading LJ, but I've filtered it down to a much shorter *read every day list*.

Greatest Journal doesn't send notifications when someone comments

I certainly get comment notifications, and perfectly timely ones, too. Are you sure your settings at GJ are correct?

[maygra.livejournal.com]

it's all checked so I can but I never get them.

[the-shoshanna.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, that certainly sucks.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Yup. I mean, I'm permanent here, so I'd like to keep using it.

And, eep, no comment notifications from GJ for you? WOE.

I may have hied mysefl to a nunnery before this all falls out.

If you do, be sure to tell me where. I will drop by. And bring - I don't know. Cookies or something.

I've filtered it down to a much shorter *read every day list*.

I had to do that too, a while back: I call it my 45-minute filter, because, well, it typically takes me about 45 minutes to read through it. I miss the days when I had a bigger daily reading list, but it's hard to do that and still have, you know, a life.
