Passionately. And it seems that in the old format the photo function is limited. I can't get it to scroll through the entire selection of photos. The new one is ridiculous, doesn't provide the same amenities, such as a toolbar. I seriously hate it.

This is for those of you who are primarily or singularly on Dreamwidth. DW has always been our back up to Live Journal, whether during times when that site was down for repair, from hackers or our pique of outrage at the User Agreement we all objected to but signed anyway. Well, we had to sign it, otherwise we were locked out. Thus our pique.
What is posted here is generally second hand, imported from the original posting on LJ. It may not always be posted in real time, but is done in a batch later in the day or sometimes the next day.
What I suppose I'm attempting to convey here is that if you want to be in the live stream of activity, you do need to be on LJ as well as Dreamwidth. We still post links, primarily, to stories, and that to either ff.net or AO3. I personally post to DW for certain challenges, but I've not been able to participate fully for a while now, so that hasn't been a factor much.
If you would like to join up over on LJ you'll need to open an account there, and then join the communities you're interested in. We have the same 'sister' communities on LJ as here, listed below. I hope this helps and that we'll see you on LJ if you're not there already.

I am daily confronted with more disturbing information concerning the new LJ. I don't know how long it will take, but I do foresee the primary headquarters for Section VII eventually moving to Dreamwidth. The site is safer for posting, it has no one monitoring content and looking for violations of Russian law.
If you don't already have a Dreamwidth account, you should get one.
I'm not shutting down lj, but it seems wise to anticipate that it could happen eventually. Just be aware that it is now illegal to post anything to do with homosexuality (for those who read and/or write slash, or include it in any way in a story), political opinions or criticisms, and most likely certain kinds of religious references.
That is more than I can find acceptable, and especially as I sit here in the US, free from such limitations. I certainly don't think being subject to the laws of another country is something I can tolerate, especially when those laws are morally repugnant.
If you're reading this you probably already have your DW account, but now I find myself not willing to post something on LJ that is remotely critical of Russia. Mlaw posted an article in an earlier post on my journal that lists the possible actions that might be taken if a journal or post is targeted for its content.
We're not a big deal in the larger picture of world events, but I don't think you have to be nowadays. All it takes is a filter that finds key words and phrases. Anyone can be in the line of fire, so to speak.
We've worked too hard to give up, and I'm grateful for Dreamwidth providing a safe haven.

Okay, so this is Section VII on Dreamwidth, and I'm still importing entries from LJ, although I've missed a few days and need to get back to it. seagull2eagle has kindly offered to transfer our banner over to this comm, so that's very cool. It will look more like home I think.
If you're reading here on DW, please let us know. I don't have a picture yet of how this is going, utilizing both platforms, and it would interesting and helpful to know where the majority of folks are tending to MFU business. If you would just post a comment regarding your preferences.
Obviously this is being generated on DW, but I will post it on LJ as well, in order to get some feedback.
Thanks, carry on...

I've closed the poll, but I think we have a pretty good consensus of how people are responding to the big bruhaha regarding the user agreement.
For most of us it looks as though we'll take DW and utilize it more than previously, perhaps even to the exclusion of actually posting original work on LJ. Several writers are already posting links to other sites rather than have entire stories here on LJ.
It's a shame, but it isn't the end of the world by any means. Dreamwidth is open and available, and I will continue to import the entries every day or so. They're pretty backed up right now with a rush on their site from all of this.

This is an entry originally posted on DW. This link takes to you to Reception

The Reception Desk was created a few years ago when we had some major disruptions on LJ. Seems as though that is a theme we've seen played out too often. What we do is benign, unless you are in the camp that considers imagination and creativity and a love of good looking guys in suits something to be feared or maligned. We just like to read and write about the Man from UNCLE.
So, maybe it isn't a big huge some kind of deal. But what if it is? Don't we proceed with caution and hopefully a measure of wisdom?
That's why we're on Dreamwidth, to take advantage of what appears to be a safe harbor in what is, unfortunately, some murky waters that are patrolled by people we may not want to meet.
Hysterical?
No, just cautious.
Some of us have worked pretty hard to create these communities, and protecting the integrity of the content is a responsibility I think should be taken seriously.
And so, here we are in the waiting room, hoping for the best but prepared for what might come down the pike.
Questions? Answers? Feel free to lodge all of it here in Reception.

I started importing the comms yesterday, and while Section VII has finished except for what came after the request, the Map Room is still in the queue awaiting completion. This is a slow process at times, especially when we have so many entries to catch up to.

Just in case some of you get notifications, LJ is down and so I've posted Reading Room here on Dreamwidth. Hopefully the outage won't last long.
