#livejournal — Public Fediverse posts

What a time to be alive!

Remember the good ol' days when things like #Livejournal, etc. were the place to be? No? Meh.

#Lyvio is chronological, and an algorithm doesn’t dictate what you see.

There are also no ads.

How long until the app is bought by some company with other ideas?

I'm not able to access my #LiveJournal today. A quick internet search leads me to believe it may no longer be available outside of #russia :-(

A #comment made on #LiveJournal

Once you start getting senior discounts, noticing parts of your body you had forgotten and forgetting parts you were once obsessed with, a few years doesn't mean as much as it used to.

Awww fuck... it looks like I've lost access to my old #Livejournal account. I wanted to log in so I could back everything up, but it's trying to force a password reset and I don't have access to that old e-mail address anymore... and I never set up a security question either. :drgn_scream_angry:

Love this reflection on pre-platform online life by@[email protected]. This line is a cold slap:

"If social media has a future—and, to be clear, I’m not convinced that it does—it will not be a few mega-platforms with billions of users. It will not be a series of independent sites that mimic the functionality of the big winners..."

Can we have social lives online without "social media"? Will we know it when it comes?

Collections? Pah! If #Mastodon wants to be cool, they should make text fields for current mood and current music.

That’s a #LiveJournal joke.

The Friday Five for 20 March 2026: Dreamwidth and LiveJournal

#Dreamwidth #LiveJournal #blogging

Есть вполне реальная потребность сохранять-архивировать страницы из #ЖЖ, причём вместе с фотографиями.
Насколько я понимаю, готового решения для феди нет :blobcatgooglypats:

@cocaine_owlbear Is there anything in the #Fediverse closish to early 2000s #LiveJournal?

Прощай, ЖЖ — cпасаем заметки Python-скриптом

В конце статьи Python скрипт для сохранения заметок . Последняя шлюпка с «Титаника», чтобы утащить с ЖЖ свои и чужие мысли на жесткий диск, пока «эффективные менеджеры» окончательно не пустили всё на дно . Я писал свои заметки в ЖЖ более 15 лет. Полтора десятилетия текстов, некоторые из которых даже влетали в топ главной страницы, теша мое самолюбие. Но всему есть предел. Декабрьские конвульсии администрации — введение сегрегации пользователей, разделение на касты и монетизация каждого вздоха — стали последней каплей. Это больше не дом, это режимный объект с пропусками. Я принял решение об уходе, забирая с собой всё, что нажил непосильной графоманией. Спасаем заметки

RT @rahaeli

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Heads-up from @/rahaeli about saving things off LiveJournal, if you still have stuff you care about on there:

RIP Livejournal.

Finally [at least for non Cyrillic readers] the site will be probably become unusable..

Apologies this is a Bluesky link, but it's the only source of info I have..

I posted 25 favorite #songs with #youtube #links over on #LiveJournal, if anyone is curious.

From #LiveJournal:

#Pantone's #color of the #year
The one for 2026 is "Cloud Dancer" or, in the words of The Dad Briefs, "just a few shades darker than the runner-up, 'Preferred Immigrant.'"

From Pantone: "Anything and everything taking place in our culture during the year can influence our Pantone Color of the Year selections for the upcoming year with each source carrying a different weight from year to year, depending on what is taking place in our culture at that time."

Any suggestions for a #LiveJournal type platform I can use for keeping a #blog? I want something that won't just vanish one day (a concern I have with the fediverse), but isn't covered in ads either.

#blogging #blogs

“In an upcoming paper, our team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure has uncovered stark differences in how different cultures harness the #internet. …

The history of the internet offers some examples. Take the Russian social media/blogging platform #LiveJournal. When it was popular in the mid-2000s, English-speaking users knew it as a space for young people to share their feelings or geek out about Harry Potter. But if you're a Russian speaker, you probably know LiveJournal very differently – as an important site of public intellectualism and political discourse, playing a rare role in hosting voices from the opposition.”

I understand why it's nice - esp. on mobile phones - to have posts no longer than* X* length. Browsability matters!
However, limiting the default characters significantly limits #mastodon adoption, as it is inappropriate for what they want to do... which could be everything from #journalism to #writing to #fanfiction.

But devs solved this problem 25 years ago on #livejournal, with the lj-cut tag.
Hey, @Gargron ... a time-tested #opensource solution that we KNOW works!

Remember that whole import saga I had moving from #LiveJournal to #Plume ? Well I copied my docs from a notes platform and made them available through my own little website and through Gemini - gemini://mmn.on.ca/docs/ ! https://www.mmn.ca/docs/

In honor of #Satan and Friday the 13th, I created The #Ethical #Society Of Satan.

https://ethical-society-of-satan.dreamwidth.org/

It's a #journal #community for #humanism, #atheism, #atheists, #agnostics, #satanism, #philosophy and more!

DW is a beautiful fork of #LiveJournal. Hurray for #LibreSoftware #freeSoftware

I want to create a Community on #Dreamwidth for #musicians, #soundEngineers, #audioEngineers, #producers, #guitarists, #bassists, #synth players, #drummers, and the like.

What should it be called?

It'll be affiliated with #TheFreaksClub
https://thefreaksclub.dreamwidth.org/

Think of it as being the #LiveJournal based alternative to forums like TalkBass, and @lemmystudio 😜
Not as a replacement, of course. Just as a different format; a home carved out in a different section of the web.

I listen to a broad spectrum of music. Anyone interested in browsing videos spotlighting bits of that spectrum can go to my ancient livejournal. I still post there, almost exclusively music videos. http://i.livejournal.com
