Livejournal Exodus
I’ve had a livejournal account for a long time now.
Quite frankly, I’m tired of the headaches that synchronizing Wordpress with LJ brings. In addition to the problems of maintaining the mirror, I had to contend with the growing linkspam that was being generated.
I’ve started replacing each of my dependencies upon Livejournal with alternate solutions. I’ve been using a feed reader I hacked together to read various peoples blogs, instead of using my LJ friends page. I’m now commenting on other livejournals with OpenID rather than commenting with my LJ account. I implemented an OpenID consumer on this blog so that various livejournal users could comment on it easily. And now, with the assistance of Kitty, my blog at verselogic.net is being syndicated to livejournal.com/users/verselogic, so you LJ folks can easily friend that feed and continue along happily.
Last time I disabled comments people complained. No doubt people will complain again. I’ve tried to smooth the transition, but nothing is perfect.
The codepoetica livejournal account is going away, but I’m not.
