Closing the book

[cmdr_zoom]

After fifteen years, I'm finally done with LiveJournal. While I'm not directly affected by the new terms of service, enough is enough.

I imported all of my old entries (and comments) long ago; I refreshed it today. The only practical difference is that I've turned off auto-crossposting. I won't be deleting my LJ account, but I won't be making any new posts there either.

I miss Frank the Goat.

For those of us not following LiveJournal closely enough, what changed in the new terms of service that caused you to stop using it?

As far as I can tell, the emphasis on Russia in their new TOS together with this development is raising a lot of red flags for people.

Pretty much, yeah.
And my life is going through a lot of other changes lately, saying goodbye to old things, and this seemed like a good (if unexpected) place to finally make a clean break.

Opportunities for clean starts do often come at unexpected times. Best of luck to you with whatever life developments you're currently facing. :-)
