This was back when a Russian company bought out LiveJournal, @Yzrch The rumor was that Gov't officials bought it to stop protest organization while Putin consolidated his power.
It started as a few for ethical reasons, then more when the TOS got translated into Russian so nobody could read it, then more as fewer used it until within a year only 2 of my writer friends still posted there.
That's when I left.
@SLWeippert @Yzrch I used to be on LJ a lot back in the day. But as you say, when it was bought by a Russian company, I stopped using it, went back after a couple years and removed my stuff. Just a couple weeks ago I went back to look at what happened to it and I saw nothing but a Russian front page so I left.
