personal blogs allowing access to only users you approve, āfriends lockedā
friends locked (āmembers onlyā)Ā communitiesĀ
on said communities all members see the post rather than it depending on who reblogs it and who follows who
because other users must have an account to be able to view content, less chance of infiltration; no random lolcows or harassing anons
comment threads on posts instead of reblog chains
can turn ip logging on/off on journals and communitiesĀ
friendslist system similar to the dashboard where you can see posts from personal journals and community posts (but no repeats!)
not seeing the same posts over and over
differentiation between personal and lifting related content (personal posts on personal journals, lifting content on a community)
āmemoryā system where you can bookmark posts which can also be made private if you so choose
they donāt fuck around with the ui as much, itās been basically the same for nearly 20 years, ie āif it aināt broke donāt fix itā mentality on part of the devs
internal image hosting, mobile allows for taking a photo when creating a post
itās older and doesnāt have as large of a userbase to find and give a shit about us, less people are likely to look there for us (until this post inevitably goes pseudo viral)
has not gotten any media attention while tumblr housing the lifting community has multiple times
no reblogs so you canāt add things to your own blog unless you copy/paste it
the mobile app does not allow people to join communities because ????
compromises on livejournal cons:
memory system in place of reblogs
a moderator can manually send invites to communities
can be a pro and a con depending:
when a post is deleted itās gone because itās not on other peopleās blogs, so if you want to reference something it may disappear but itās also safer because other people donāt have the ability to leep your content around
all members on a list on communities so itās easier to tell whoās in the community
when a post is edited, thatās the version everyone sees from there on out
itās time to fucking migrate why are we still on this website and putting ourselves at more risk iāve been harping about this for like 9 months how many times do we have to get anti masterlists with thousands of notes and spotlighting and doxxing and media coverage
send me an im and iāll tell you the name of and the url for the community; i will not respond to anons regarding this
on pc itās as simple as accessing it and clicking the join button
if youāre on mobile iāll need the username of your journal (donāt post it publicly!) so i can send you an invite (be sure to let me know youāre on mobile)
when you create an account try to avoid lift/klepto/thief etc in the username
