--Posted to LJ. Posting here for the record.
Hi all,
I've had this livejournal since November 2001, even have a permanent account (for definitions of permanent that needs must take into account the nature of the internet).
Given that LJ has now moved all it's servers & the like to Russia, and a great many security and other such features are now either non-functioning or acting strangely, I shall no longer be posting here. I'm not going to delete my account (yet), but will not be even attempting to cross-post from Dreamwidth.
I am on Dreamwidth, same username.
If you have a DW, I would like to continue following you! Or Wordpress (where I am jtifft). Either comment here with your DW username, or email me at jtifft at gmail.
One more thing to chalk up to the general suckitude of 2016, I guess.
(Uses my original default icon of Qui-Hedgie. Seems oddly appropriate somehow.)

igrick [LiveJournal], dude in charge of lj design, has posted the following today:
New LJ. Step one: comments.
Folks, as the first step of a major design change me and Tyoma (lj user tema) were talking about we've rolled out the new comments system onto the beta-testing servers. I wanted to say "rolled out the new design" but it's really is a completely new system, not a simple design change. It's only available to beta-users for now (you can become one by joining the
lj_ru_beta community and enabling beta-mode here) and to journals that have default commenting design enabled (like mine does).
Better see once than read this text a hundred times, but I'm going to talk about my impressions and major changes anyway.
- new comments can be added without page reload;
- comments could be posted by pressing ctrl+enter shortcut - this is genius;
- comments no longer have Subject field and this is non-negotiable;
( The rest of the post is under the cut )
Me again -- I have codes, and, no codes are needed to create an account for the rest of the year.
