brin_bellwayWhen I made this account, almost six years ago, it was purely for commenting and giving people a way to grant me access to their locked posts. I never thought I would post here. My only Livejournal post is a post directing people to my Tumblr.
But times change. While I don't post NSFW images...well, let me put it this way. If even Fetlife can't always be trusted to let people like me talk about sex without cracking down on them, why the hell should I trust Tumblr?
(To clarify, the Fetlife purge later ended up being temporary. But nobody--including, I think, Fetlife--knew that at the time, and I, for one, never saw them the same way after that.)
Not trusting a site is not quite the same thing as being unwilling to use it. I'll still be reblogging some stuff on Tumblr--mostly the "hey, check out this neat thing" type of reblog--but all of my OPs and quite possibly a lot of my comments will be hosted on Dreamwidth. They will be linked on Tumblr, but not cross-posted: all that you--more importantly, the censors--will be able to see on Tumblr is the link.
(And I'll be doing daily Tumblr backups to my laptop, weekly backups to my smartphone, and [not sure yet, depends on how well the Tumblr-to-Wordpress importer copes with the surge in interest] backups to Wordpress. But I was doing the first two already, and started doing the third while the purge was still mostly rumour.)
((Progress on re-formatting the Wordpress archive: ~3.8%))
I'll also be posting link roundups and roundups of places I've commented, which I am tentatively planning to combine into one type of post (with multiple sections).
