Here's a suggestion: Dreamwidth. I moved to this after being on LIVE JOURNAL for years. It's old tech - probably just better than MySpace - but it works. https://www.dreamwidth.org/
I'm also on Dreamwidth as silkensteel. Haven't used it a lot, mostly to read a handful of others, and a place to keep my LJ writings and recipes archived. I do think it's a reasonable replacement for G+, and have brought it up elsewhere.
Is dreamwidth run by russia like livejournal wound up being? I can't remember, that was all a lot of drama that went down behind the scenes and then after I drifted away (adn I got a lifetime lj account, too!)
Cindy Brown no, and their transferring option got backlogged when LJ went full Red Bear from everyone transferring over. I expect if something doesn't change in the next 10ish months, I'll be using that more and more.

Oooh. That might be a good option. I liked LiveJournal, after all. And it has a similar post/comment interface to G+, with privacy settings.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes old is good...
ReplyDeleteThe trick is getting others to come with us.
ReplyDeleteI love DreamWidth, yes, and I'm already there https://mindey.dreamwidth.org/, however, it would be so cool if it had shorted domain name, and supported images and videos.

ReplyDeleteIsn't dreamwidth restrictive about its prospective authors?

ReplyDeleteHm, transferring option? I do have a lot of old stuff on LJ it would be nice to save (though I think there was an export option at one point?)

ReplyDeletedreamwidth.org - How do I import my journal from another site?
I still have a LiveJournal account, though I mostly lurked and commented. I'd probably create a new one for DreamWidth.
ReplyDeleteWell importation is under way :-P
