While I was in Kansas, I deliberately limited Internet access so I wouldn’t distract myself from working. I did check email, twitter, and Facebook a couple times a day, plus the occasional sweep through my rss feeds.
What I didn’t check–hardly even thought about checking–was LiveJournal. Partly that’s because I don’t have the app for LJ, but most of the reason is that I’ve been leaving LJ behind for some time. I very rarely post there–everything is posted to my blog these days and is cross-posted automatically.
When I got back, and scrolled back through what I’d missed as far as LJ would let me, all the posts were by only a handful of people. If you’re reading this on LJ, you’re probably one of them.
I feel like I’ve lost the feeling of community that LiveJournal once had. The blog Facebook twitter diaspora makes it harder to keep up with a smaller group of people. But it seems unlikely to change.
I’m not leaving LJ, but I haven’t added new people there in ages. If any of you guys leave, let me know where to find you.
