I thought LJ was bought by a Russian company some years ago, I'm not sure why moving the physical servers to Moscow makes any difference? I always presume every intelligence service in the world can see whatever I do on the Internet, I'm not sure it matters where the server is based.
But, otherwise, LJ is pretty dead compared to what it used to be. I try to make new friends on here from time to time, but it definitely isn't the same density of similar interests and wanting to meet in person and such as it was when I started back in 2001 or so. If I didn't actually like keeping a journal then there would be little holding me here anymore. Definitely fewer personal connections than I had on Facebook.
Switching to some other LJ clone, like Dreamwidth ... would feel like starting all over. Does that service have a higher density of people than this one? And would I cross post to keep the 12 people who read my stuff here informed? Eh, I've never liked cross posting, it feels like a sort of spam to me ;-)
If you stay here, I'll keep reading your stuff. But I understand this bar is dying and hardly anybody comes here anymore.
