Greetings to the Greater Blogosphere, from an LJ expatriate.
I'm new here. In fact, I recently migrated here from Livejournal due to the censorship, invasion of privacy and political persecution of Russian users which are being perpetrated by LJ's new owners, SUP. My friend heiko@insanejournal.com has made a series of informative posts on the situation:

As a firm believer in freedom of speech and governmental non-interference, I cannot in good conscience continue to support LJ under SUP management. I encourage other LJ users to read the references and make their own decisions.
At any rate, this gives me a excuse to move up into the Greater Blogosphere, a move I've been planning for awhile. Due to my physical disability, rheumatoid arthritis, I have to type very slowly, so I'll wait til my next post to explain what I hope to accomplish here.

I was unaware of the fact that LJ was doing that, although, I will admit, I had the feeling that the purchase would have less than good repricussions.. it usually does. Good to see youre setting up somewhere tho.
Ive been playing with blogger for a bit too, and i like the software better, although it does take some getting used to. I think we'll see a lot more people moving to here and other places... the smarter ones at least. the sheep will stay at LJ and have their drama and other BS...and as far as I am concerned, they can keep it.
