LJ problems

[vilakins]

Is anyone else failing to see comments even though there's a > 0 count showing? I haven't had problems with LJ till now, though I know others have. And damn, I now find I can't even select an icon.

While I'm here, is there anyone I follow who would rather I subscribed to them on DW? I've added a lot of people to my circle over there, but have only added them to my default filter if they said they prefer DW. I daresay that's changing as several people have said they're moving.

Let me know if you are, plus your DW ID if it's different.

I've been having similar problems just lately, ugh.

I've been having the same problems.

I can't remember if we're reading each other over on DW, but I rarely look at it anyway.

Then I'll keep reading here. It's just that lots of people (mostly Americans) are fleeing due to the servers being in Russia.

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

When you are in the UK the US is just as foreign as Russia as a location for servers.

Hear hear!

The whole thing drives me nuts -- LJ was sold to Russia a decade ago, ffs. The move of the servers isn't going to make any difference except in the minds of the pearl-clutchers.

I know. I have no idea why the panic, but if people are moving, I'll subscribe to them on DW. I'm certainly staying.

I've not had that problem but a couple of times now I've not been able to access my friends list, things aren't quite right

I've had your problem too. It comes up with a "502 Bad Gateway" error, which leaves me none the wiser.

I have only some problems here and there but like you, I am on DW for every case. I activated the crossposting but I am not sure if the works.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Comments seem to be back! Do you look at DW, because if not I'll keep reading here.

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

I don´t look at DW as far as LJ works. Stay here with me, please.:-)

[trixieleitz]

I tend to prefer DW, but I think we are already mutually connected there, too. I do still crosspost, when I post at all.

The concerns about the server move relate to Russia's stellar record *cough* regarding privacy, freedom of speech, and human rights in general. Apparently, there are some journal owners (mostly Ukrainian, I think) who have been very outspoken against Putin et al. and no longer have even the minimal safety that locating the servers outside Russia gave them.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm hardly ever political so it doesn't affect me. But the freedom of speech thing became a problem for Russians and others once they bought LJ out. Are Americans afraid that posting about shitface (as I call the Shitler) will also be a problem?

[Edit] I changed my filters to read you on DW rather than here. :-)

[trixieleitz]

I haven't heard any concerns from the US side.

I think there were some US laws that gave the anti-Putin bloggers a bit of protection while the servers were physically in the US. Those laws won't apply now.

I imagine there were good operational reasons for the move, but I have no insight into how things are run there now.
