Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media

I stopped using LJ long before that, so I didn't know anything about the Russian stuff until fairly recently. A RL friend told me about Dreamwidth and I immediately moved all my stuff over to there... though it's private and I have no friends.
So many of my years are recorded in that journal.. I would be absolutely destroyed if I lost all of it. I met my husband through LJ. I wrote about losing my mom on LJ. My entries are so so special to me. Even the cringey teenage angst! I go through them every once in a while just to remember how far I've come and how much I've changed from the person who wrote those entries.

Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
I'm trying to. I'm so used to lurking on Reddit that I forget to actually post here. Working on it, though.

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?
Yep. Used Swype way back in the day so I'm just used to it.@atocci

With an new beginning come NEW USERNAMES
Ah, reminds me of being an early adopter on Livejournal. I Have a pretty popular name on there and even recently, every once in a while, someone tries to get access to it/hack it. I no longer use it, and migrated all my entries to dreamwidth, but I'm never giving it up.
