<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nFor as long as I’ve been making posts on nuxx.net\/blog<\/a>, since back in March 2008<\/a>, I’ve been automatically cross-posting things to my LiveJournal account ‘c0nsumer’<\/a>. In recent years LiveJournal (LJ) has become markedly less interesting as folks move to other social networks and abandon the blogging format. I’m not about to give up a place to post random thoughts, images, and technical info, but I don’t think that I’m going to keep contributing such things to LJ.<\/p>\n I’m currently working on backing up my LJ account so that I can archive it somewhere, but as my account became unpaid this evening I suspect it won’t be long before I abandon LJ entirely and post solely here. I may even consider using Facebook<\/a>, where I’ve maintained a minor presence so that I could view other people’s pictures. I’ve been a bit hesitant to use it for any real content, but as it reached critical mass a few years ago I really shouldn’t continue to ignore it.<\/p>\n So, I think that’s it. While LJ does offer some benefits such as ACLs to restrict access to posts (which I don’t use) and email notifications of replies to comments, I think it’s time to move on. Within a few days I’ll likely uninstall the LJ crossposter from WordPress<\/a>, make a final post pointing back here, and bid the online social blogging platform that I’ve used since May 28, 2002<\/a> goodbye.<\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> It turns out that the expiration of my LJ account does not remove my ability to automatically cross-post. So while I no longer have much of an interest in using LJ, I may as well continue cross-posting to make it easier for others to read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For as long as I’ve been making posts on nuxx.net\/blog, since back in March 2008, I’ve been automatically cross-posting things to my LiveJournal account ‘c0nsumer’.…<\/p>\n
