Wow. A thousand times Wow. AKA, this speaks to me. So worth the read. Thanks for posting the link!

Thanks for posting this. (And I'd wondered where she went.) I'm only sorry she didn't consider mentioning Dreamwidth.

She did, fifth paragraph from the end:

"Us doesn’t have a web address. We are wherever we gather. Mastodon, Substack, Patreon, Dreamwidth, AO3, Tumblr, Discord, even the ruins of Twitter, even Facebook and Instagram and Tiktok, god help us all. Even Diaryland."

Oh good!You know I looked for it in that precise paragraph? Mu eye must have skippedover it. Thanks.

Thanks for reposting this. I still mourn the loss of LJ, which was the online community I was most active on, and I miss many of the people I followed there, though a few of them have migrated here. Heck, *I* should be more active here...
