missnowmanHi!
This will be an unusual and serious post, so you can ignore it if you prefer that.
Since the current situation doesn't seem to improve and Livejournal is based in Russia, I'd like to open the discussion for possible scenarios and alternatives for the worst case scenario of this community - LJ closing its gates for people outside of Russia or straight up deleting accounts/getting shut off.
Of course we can just continue posting elsewhere, but that would bring the question of where to achieve the same easy style of posting and protecting files and where to go, so the majority of people can migrate there. Which is the biggest point, in the worst case we'd lose all past files already in here and the users.
Would anyone with the password be able to maybe transfer the posts to Dreamwidth to have this community archived somewhere at least?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luma_chan? Any better ideas on that?
I just really do not want to get into the situation where I try to login and everything is gone and I'm sure it's the same for all of you, so I want to include you in the discussion. And sadly this all seems to be a possibility with online services being shut out of Russia left and right, so it's a matter of time until they do the same I return I'm afraid 😔 (we all know that bald dude is an asshole) If nothing happens, we'll stay here and everything will continue as usual of course!
Edit: I have created a Discord server that we can use for better planning and/if LJ goes down to keep posting new files. You can join here. Please don't wreak havoc, I'm at work and can't really take care of it right now lol. I specifically do not want to replace LJ with Discord, but it's easier to plan the move to a new place there. Let's just hope that LJ stays up or comes back someday.
