  • livejournal shutdown coming?

    Someone on Reddit reports that English-language Livejournal is going
    away. I'm relaying that to here because there are a bunch of filk
    journals there that should be archived if they haven't been.

    It all looks very speculative. I walked away from LiveJournal years ago,
    when they stealthily moved their servers to Russia. Are there still any
    active filkers on LJ?

    I don't know, I haven't looked there in ages and I hadn't heard about
    the server move. That is an eyebrow raiser.
