Deleting Your Livejournal: You Don’t Have To Set Yourself On Fire On Your Way Out Of The Building

meeedeee:

I’ve seen people reblogging a post that states

(1) LJ servers are now being housed in Russia and 

(2) that “the Russian government now has access to private information on private citizens across the country, their interests, their views, their families” and 

(3) and recommending that fans delete their LJ blogs and communities. 

If you do reblog/post about deleting Livejournal accounts, please let people know they don’t have to delete wholesale – they can import their blogs and communities to Dreamwidth. I’ve seen too many people anguishing over the loss of their creations, the wonderful comments and feedback they’ve received, and their fandom history because they do not know they have choices. 

So if you’re going to pass along a message of “FIRE!!!” , please point them towards the exits safely.
