[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 couldn't answer a couple of questions, because honestly, wherever you choose to post is what matters, and I will follow (although, I've set up alternate journals on only GJ and IJ, and frankly, I don't even look at those much. I can't keep up with all the different places, and to be honest, don't want to. It's just annoying to me that everyone I care about is choosing from among four or five different places, and it's a bit much for me).

And I can in no way help you with anything because I'm a lameass techwise, OMG.

I think I will likely be crossposting, and I'll definitely be here. This poll has helped me figure out where people are going to be (although one question I should have asked and didn't is: where do you plan to be reading a friends list in the near future?), and it seems like crossposting is the way to go.

I guess I'm going to try FeedReader or similar so I can keep up with my friends who have fled to the other places; I can't imagine trying to keep up with four separate friends lists. I mean, if it's all the same people, it shouldn't actually be any more effort, but it feels like it would be. So - FeedReader and crossposting, I guess.
