Do people still use livejournal12/6/2023 ![]() ![]() And yet, in a few short years, it has become nearly irrelevant.ġ0% of those people I was friends with on LJ have properly closed their accounts 90% of the rest stopped posting long ago. We spammed countless quizzes and memes together, organised dozens of parties over LJ my friends and I. And aside from an in-character Remus Lupin blog (2003), eldritchreality and I are still the only LJ users to express an interest in combat magic. The LiveJournals we created for characters in a roleplaying game, like my own Kotori (2004-2005) are still there. I recall having “Everyone except X” groups for all three of my University crushes, plus the girl I ended up with. (Though seeing as that night was also my first encounter with eldritchreality_ (2004-2011)_ and charon47 (2001-2010), and my first trip to The Dungeon, that recollection may easily be in error.)Īs the place where we bared our hearts for the world to see, there were good and bad times aplenty, all pasted up on the internet – though in the case of the most intense drama, it was locked down for only certain groups of people to see. If I recall correctly, on our first encounter, squirmelia (2001-2011) asked for my LJ handle before I was asked for my name. We were all there it was our network before Facebook came along and crushed all other ways of swapping awful memes with your friends. ![]() LiveJournal was the ‘in’ place to be for angst-ridden students like myself, in the dim and distant pre-MySpace past. I got my invite in the autumn of 2003 thanks to sasahara (Account active 2003-2009) from the IRC channel that I frequented at the time. Once upon a time, accounts on blogging site LiveJournal were precious commodities indeed – the site gave out invites for its members to use, but there was no public sign-up page. You might want to go back to the homepage to see some more recent stuff. This is an pretty old post from my blog, which has been preserved in case its content is of any interest. ![]()
