Yeah, I'm noticing again in this exchange what our mutual journalism background does for us. Not that people HAVE to care about where the LJ servers are, but knowing the facts about something that's as important to me as LJ? It's worth looking at both sets of opinions, which I thought was well-represented by your very non-mass-hysteria AND non-blinder-wearing post. :-D
Something I've observed a lot on social media is that so many responses to a well-stated introduction of content like this... don't actually respond to what the post actually says? And not just social media. There's just a... trend, for lack of a better word, of... missing the point. It made me start to doubt my communicating abilities, which you know I've always been proud of. But yeah, I just came to understand that it's the way our culture is leaning, and you and I are less in synch with that than ever just by our nature.
And yes. The bugginess/changes in a bad direction of LJ functionality is more than a distant early warning, IMO. I never intend to leave LJ, and it was clear from your post that you don't either, but back-up? Sooner than later, I'd say! Just need to make myself do it. :-D
