I'm sorry, LJ. I switched computers and forgot about you. There was this gap, this missing element, but I could not quite lay my finger on it until rmd said something like, "Hey did you see my post?"
Duh. |

Hey, thanks!
Ah, you forget about LJ, but LJ no forget about you, comrade.
Seriously, nice to see your post. A friend of ours wants to get into blogging, and asked if LJ was a good place to start. I had to tell him "well, about 10 years ago I would have said definitely, but so many people have moved on to places like Facebook, you'd probably do better with someplace like Wordpress or Bloglines."
I'd love to get a group of former USENET a.c. and kalbo folks together in some kind of discussion group - there seemed to be some interest in that in the a.c. 25th anniversary thread - but everyone's so spread across different social media platforms, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Heh.
Send your friend to Tumblr. That's where the kids are these days and the high energy sharing, resharing, quoting, meme blasting, etc.
As for a discussion group, that sounds fun! My suggestion would be to create it on all the major platforms (LJ, FB, Twitter, & Tumblr at least... maybe also Ello) and have them all point back to either (1) whichever allows comments without a login or (2) whichever has the greatest concentration of old-timers.
