Apparently Livejournal has just announced a new, homophobic AF policy. Basically, journals must now comply with Russian anti-LGBTQ laws that consider any mention of queer material to be a discussion of "sexual deviancy" and hence illegal.

Charlie Stross is moving his LJ over here to DW, too.

Oddly, I am actually leaving my LJ in operation — because the only thing(s) on it are entries like this one that point out why you should move your journal over to Dreamwidth instead. It costs me nothing — it's a free account — and maybe it'll help move more people off LJ.

(This is one of the very few entries that I'm bothering to cross-post over there anymore. Edit: Or not. My DW inbox is giving me messages saying "Failed to crosspost entry to digitalsidhe@LiveJournal: Terms of Service agreement required". Even when I browse around LJ, I can't find where I'd even agree to the new ToS, so fuckit. Not something I'm gonna spend that much time on; I've got a nice dinner to get to.)

Check to see if you're logged in to your account there - signing the new ToS is a prerequisite for logging in and the attempt to log in might dump you to the appropriate tickybox.

Weird. I was simply presented with a popup on both my accounts when I went to read my flist last, uh, Monday or Tuesday.

There are no possible words for how much I resent these peoples' misuse of my words, and those of people I love, living and dead. (I imported everything here it's not remotely the same.)

You don't have privacy rights in Russia, either. And I'm pretty pissed off now, because I have to agree to their ToS just to delete and get rid of my account!

I signed up to the new TOS without reading them :o Oops!

So when I realised what I'd done, I moved my content here and I've now deleted both my LJ accounts.

It must be hurting them to have so many people abandoning ship. I do hope so anyway!
