To stay or not to stay...

[spsn]

I've been reading these posts on the new user agreement thingy. Yes, it looks dodgy (heck I even read the better interpretation from Tumblr, not from here), and for a person whose part of her job is reading contracts, I have a really hard time understanding what the clauses in that agreement actually means, so this brings the question, should I stay in LJ, or move somewhere else?

I've been using LJ for a good around 7 years, not too long, but long enough to have enough posts that it'll cause a hazzle if I'm going to move (especially those with lots of caps). So, the huge question is if I want to move, where should I move? dreamwidth? wordpress? blogspot? tumblr (I still can't get used to using Tumblr especially to post things, and I hate using tags)?

I know I'm not that active anymore in posting stuffs (those takes so much time and nowadays I just don't have as much attention span as I used to have in making those posts. But, still it's just nice to see the old posts and reference to some old stuffs so I'd still want to keep those (memories, keepsakes, emotional attachments, yes those emo stuffs, you know the drill).

So, back to the question, to stay or not to stay...

Sigh...

Probably this is a way of telling me to get my shit together with my RL too...

Well LJ has been owned by the Russians for a while now. And the new T&C's don't make much sense. Hell if you can't make head or tail of it what chance did I have. (I tried though ...but pfft! )

On the other hand with the new privacy laws in the US, I think the question is moot really. I don't think I have any material that the Russians are likely to come after me for (at least I hope not).

I joined Dreamwidth years ago ... and mirror my entries. I think the only thing I need to do is back up some of the pictures that I have on here. to an external and hope I don't ever have to jump ship entirely.

I am too used to being around here, and here too is where I met up some amazing people ... *hugs you* so I'm kinda attached to it.

So for the moment I'm staying ...

Is there really a difference between the old TOS and the new ones? Except for the part of the Russian laws I mean. I've never bothered to read the old TOS so I'm wondering if this one is any different.

Can't stand tumblr for blogging! but I just clicked agree to the tos just so i could access my lj!! it's really annoying. I backup at dreamwidth but not of lot of friends are on there!! I stick with lj to the bitter end!!!
