Live Journal went downhill because of the Russians. Nobody wanted them owning anything we wrote or fucking other shit up, so we all fled.

It was home to several prominent Russian citizen blogs, the DDoSes came from the Russian Security services. This helped silence internal dissent and the people leaving lessened the ability of native Russians to resist and reach channels of resistance.

Congrats fandom, and FS in particular, you helped with the invasion of Ukraine and the elections of Trump. You must be so proud.

Uh? I get that you're a being a bad-faith demoralizing troll, but no? People, including Russian users, used to be relatively secure in relative anonymity on LJ because it was governed under US (California?) law, and Russia going "hey tell us everything about your Russian users" was met with "nope!" and maybe a middle finger.

Then a Russian oligarch bought the site, over the objections of a lot of the employees who knew what would happen, and the servers were moved to Russia, and all those anonymous Russian users were arrested or driven underground for daring to criticize their government. The average non-Russian user who left because they didn't want the Russian government to have their info wasn't to blame for Russia's actions.

+1

It was their *government* that was the problem. Russian users on LJ were there because being hosted in US protected their free speech, which is why the government ended up buying LJ. This is common knowledge.

All I'm getting from your response is a series of clicks, grunts, and bleeps.
