As you may have noticed if you're reading this on LJ, I've turned off commenting on the crossposts. I am waffling over whether to stop crossposting entirely (except for the occasional PSA). However, for the moment I am not in a rush to entirely delete my journal, because it occurred to me that 1. that breaks memories links and it always annoys me when that happens, and 2. I don't want to orphan the community I own (though I have backed it up to DW) without discussing the community's future with its members, and that needs to get handled.

As I see people and communities make their own announcements about moving to Dreamwidth, I am gradually removing them from my reading filter on LJ and adding them on DW (not unfriending, just tweaking of reading lists).

Oh, that was weird. Since I read it here on DW, the line about "removing them from my reading filter here and adding them over there" came out with the meaning reversed, and it took me a moment to figure out what was going on.

Sort of like reading mirror writing: easy enough, once you realize you need to make the compensation, but a little confusing until that realization.

Sorry, yeah, the whole post is mainly directed at the LJ audience. Possibly I should have posted it natively rather than crossposting. eta: there, edited for clarity.

I do still keep my eye on the otherkin comm there, so if you just need me to be more active or whatever give me a buzz. Not like literally anything is happening there anyway lol.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do with that. If I were seriously going to delete my LJ I would have to hand it off to someone (presumably you?) first. Like I say, I did import it to otherkinarchive here on DW, just for backup's sake, but left it closed membership without immediate intent to be active. (If the need arose to make it active I could rename it, I guess.) I wanted to import it to otherkin, but I don't own that one (despite poking elven_ranger, who does and who has agreed to transfer it to me, several times). I would love to encourage people to move over to DW but I'm not sure how much traction the idea of "this comm is moving to DW!" would gain - I considered doing a poll... in any case I wouldn't want to just unilaterally do something without asking the members themselves.

I wouldn't over think it. Nothing lasts forever, and I doubt you'd get more than like 5 people even noticing and responding to a poll! It would be nice if it could migrate and fold into the DW otherkin though.

I found your DW by searching for otherkin here. I vaguely remember your username from somewhere, so I thought I would friend you. ;)

[arethinn]

The vague remembrance is mutual, hehe!

eta: Probably from Otherkin Phenomena.

[elinox]

Most likely. ;)

Either way, nice to re-meetcha!
