LJ 20th anniversary

So, LJ is celebrating its 20th anniversary by making funky graphics for its members! Here's mine:

You can get your own card here!

I checked, and apparently I had my own LJ milestone 10th anniversary last month, although it was more than a full year before I made my first post. I originally got an account so that I could leave comments on someone else's journal--my first "internet friend" ignazwisdom, who, alas, is now a strikethrough.

LJ informs me that my most popular post was my Two Beecher Brothers Are Too Many pic!spam bad!fic from 2015, which cracks me up. Good times!

I know LJ is dangerously close to obsoletion, but I still think it's concept/format is one of the best of all the social platforms around, no matter how uncool that is.

Oh, that's awesome! I'm pretty sure I've read that before. I think there might be a link to it on the Great Big Oz Resource List?

Ah yes, I checked, and indeed it is. Maybe that's one of the reasons why it's been so popular!

That's funny. It is a cool platform, still.

New fandoms don't even know what they're missing out on. I had hoped LJ might get a boost after Tumblr pulled its shenanigans, but it didn't really happen as far as I could see. Things don't seem any different on Dreamwidth, either. *sigh*

Oh yeah the Tumblr stuff was..a thing. People still stick around there. Myself included cause I have some friends left there. DW is just..slow. I'm lucky if there's a new post in a few days. Oh well here's to Lj.
