ericadawn16 | Annual, Semi-Annual LJ Freak Out

I've been on LJ since 2006. I have lived through many, many LJ freak outs. Some have been legitimate. Some have been less so.

I have an old computer. It's 7 years old. As such, it can take slower to load sites which gives me time to read where the information is coming from. LiveJournal has been giving .ru for at least a month. I didn't realize it was a big deal or I certainly would have mentioned it.

No, I didn't think it was a big deal. I have friends from Russia or former Soviet republics. They're good people. No, I don't believe they "installed" Donald Trump into power. The Democrats worked hard to lose their election by ignoring most of the 99%. Maybe they hacked...on one hand, hacking or handling sensitive material to those without authority is bad. On the other hand, without such, we wouldn't know how much they set Bernie Sanders up to fail, that CIA was spying on everyone, that Ike Perlmutter cost us a Black Cat film starring Felicity Jones and WATERGATE!

If Russia is using the physical location of LJ servers as a means to oppress their citizens, that would be different. That is unacceptable. It is a fundamental human right to have freedom of speech no matter where a person is born. It is Article 19 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights published by the United Nations...THAT'S why the United Nations MATTER. If Russian citizens are being punished or censored for or from their LJ account, I want to know. I will tell EVERYONE.

Technically, I have a DreamWidth account and I guess I'll use it to back-up LJ again. I don't like it. It's just...not LJ. If LJ were to die...I'm not sure what I would do. Maybe I would take up on DW. Maybe I would just split up what I want to say among my other social media platforms. Already, I don't post everything on LJ. If it's just a fun photo or observation, I'll probably Instagram or Tweet it.

I have a post listing all my other social media platforms from one of the previous freak-outs in 2012. I've edited it to add newer stuff but not Snapchat. if you really want that one, tell me because I don't use it much. The post is also Friend-Locked so if you want a specific platform and can't see it, ask.

I hadn't really studied this for a year or so and forgot that my second website ever was on that. I tried looking for it a few months ago with no luck so I thought it was gone from the internet. I screencapped EVERYTHING especially the journal, predating this one, that I had completely forgotten about. It includes stuff from college!
DO NOT GO THERE WITHOUT AN AD_BLOCKER!!!
