The end of an era

[skieswideopen]

I'm not comfortable agreeing to terms of service that I can't read, so it's probably time to delete my LJ.

I've been cross-posting for quite a while, so I don't mind being being here rather than there, but I'm sad to see LJ go.

I believe LJ announced the changes on news around the same time they introduced the changes in the TOS. Of course, if you don't agree to the new TOS, you can't read the post while logged in. There seem to be a lot of feelings around both the TOS (which makes it clear that LJ is now subject to the laws of the Russian Federation) and the fact that the binding version of the new TOS is only available in Russian

Thanks for the info. That sounds indeed disconcerting. Not sure what I should do. I might just hang in there without agreeing and see what happens. Although I don't know what is the lesser evil, to agree and then delete the journal or not agree and keep the journal untouched?

I'm not sure what the lesser evil is either, honestly. And now I'm considering communities as well, and what I'll do with those.

I may end up agreeing and just not cross-posting any more, for the sake of communities.

Yes, I would also hate to lose membership in some communities. Therefore, I'll probably also stay lurking rather than posting.
