Enough of my LJ peeps are here now that when I check my "reading list" here it looks like a slightly condensed version of my LJ friends list.
Probably the main thing keeping me over there at this point is my decades of history that are apparently difficult to import over to here. And I'm not sure I'd want to twin my entire LJ history anyway, why give hackers two targets for getting a hold of my private entries LOL. Well, three, because I've backed up my entire LJ history to my laptop's hard drive.
Imagine if I were keeping a private diary in a series of notebooks. And then I learned everybody else had switched to a different brand of notebook for keeping their own private diaries. So what? I wouldn't have to change the brand of notebook I use. But although I treat LJ as a sort of private diary, some of my entries are open the the public, and other entries are open to my "friends", and I do respond to some of their comments, so it is a cooperative enterprise. And if everybody leaves LJ for reasons having nothing to do with me, there is an amount of peer pressure to join them at their new hangout.
