StrypeyHey <a href="https://toot.cat/@jayeless" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jayeless</a>, just stumbled on your blog piece from a year ago;"I wish there was a federated, ActivityPub-based LiveJournal ... a blog, where I can make occasional friends-only posts (not private or password-protected posts), and take advantage of ActivityPub for authenticating my friends.

Dan Carkner🎻At a birthday in Bay Ridge last night, I met someone who was my <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> friend a bit more than 20 years ago, but we never met in person.😯 We didn't really keep in touch after livejournal fizzled out in Canada, but she married a semi prominent klezmer guy so we've occasionally saluted each other through him, or during an online event etc. At first she was very confused, but then she made the connection and laughed and said "oh of course, you were my only non Russian friend on livejournal!"

Myzsterious Mizster JonesYesterday I was talking to someone who said she doesn't get on with <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a>. She also didn't like <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#twitter</a> or <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a>. Question: what's the difference between this place and those others, and somewhere like <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a>? She used to love <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> fwiw.

"MySpace:1999" is for the boomers "Clarissa explains Rule 34" for older Nickelodeon people. Any other takers?

Dan Carkner🎻I actually have never met Zisl, we almost did in 2014 but his plans changed and he wasn't in Montreal at the time we would have bumped into each other. Even though we come from very different backgrounds I think we've been in touch online longer than almost anyone in the klezmer scene. I originally followed him on <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> 20+ years ago because he had the username 👤klezmer lol He was still living in <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/Belarus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Belarus</a> at that time and I was still living in Ottawa.

dynamicI know it's hard to keep track of this after a couple decades of indoctrination by Twitter and others that public posts necessitate public dialog and that the commenters own their comments, but there really are other ways to do this. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Livejournal</a> / <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dreamwidth</a> had/has an entirely different model. The original poster owns the reply thread and has total control over not just reactive moderation but pro-active screening. The person who started a conversation curates what other people see.

And for about four years, it was my home on the Web. I’m grateful for that time… even if I moved on many years ago!

Spam and other issues I'm more concerned by, but so far Fedi has been doing pretty well there too, I think.

Ænðr E. Feldstraw<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LiveJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiveJournal</a> has no iphone app. They have an android app and one hosted on rustore... which I don't know. I stopped using LiveJournal when it got bought up by a Russian company. Maybe the rustore is a Russian app store?

Ænðr E. FeldstrawOh my: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> is still alive. One of my accounts has existed for 17 years! I haven't used it in like 13 of them... I wonder how their <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/passwordreset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#passwordreset</a> feature works these days.

Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSCI remember <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/Tumblr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tumblr</a> ten years ago when everybody was over there, all the authors, artists, actors, musicians, photographers, models, all the anarchists, socialists, freaks, goths, punks, perverts, kinksters, media pirates. It was wild, it was mad, it was naughty and horny and glorious. Then it was bought by Yahoo, and the slow decline began. They won't allow a second Tumblr to spring into existence, we need to build it ourselves. I think something like Tumblr would absolutely be possible using decentralised protocols. Or <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/LiveJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiveJournal</a> , for that matter - when I came to Tumblr, I was a refugee from LJ, which had been going downhill ever after being bought by that Russian company I cannot remember. There have been attempts at cloning Tumblr and LJ, but none of those have been what I would call a success. When the porn ban happened, a Tumblr clone called bdsmlr appeared, and so far it still exists, but only very few former Tumblr kinksters moved over there, it's mainly just the random porn blogs which post and reblog the same stuff that can be found on naughty imageboards anywhere on the Internet. Those were common on Tumblr before the porn ban, but that was not the important kind of smut which really helped all the weird freaks and queers discover and develop their own sexualities. Homemade amateur smut, naughty selfies made by enby kinksters experimenting with their gender, all that stuff is very rare and hard to find now. The kind of porn that can't be easily divided into common PornHub categories, the kind of porn that doesn't sell very much because of its niche audience, the kind of porn that doesn't just reproduce common patterns. Tumblr used to be great for that. <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reddit</a> still has some of it, but even before the current shenanigans with the API pricing, it was no real substitute for queer and kinky Tumblr.Where are the places now for us weird freaks to explore our sexualities? <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitter</a> always sucked for that, even though after the Tumblr porn ban, many horny Tumblr people went over there. Other <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialmedia</a> platforms like <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> never allowed any of it in the first place. Places dedicated entirely to smut tend to be completely dominated by the same shit you can find on the porn boards at <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/4chan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4chan</a> . <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/kinky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kinky</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/kink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kink</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/smut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smut</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/enby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enby</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/amateurporn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amateurporn</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://discordian.social/tags/crapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crapitalism</a>

myrmepropagandistThe only perfect social media site to ever exist was <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#livejournal</a>.The end.

dynamicIn principle, it should be relatively straightforward to create a Mastodon / ActivityPub client that would organize threads in a manner more similar to <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Livejournal</a> / <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dreamwidth</a> / Euphoria (<a href="https://euphoria.io/room/welcome/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://euphoria.io/room/welcome/</a>), but building something like that would present new problems because views of thread / conversation structure would differ by client.

Marta 🌿🍃Are there <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> clients already that let you hide all the boosts and/or replies from the feed? I don't see how people don't see that having that all visible is incompatible with chronological feeds. Or, I don't know, limiting one person boosts to 2 a day. I used to be able to comfortably read a feed of 150 people in <a href="https://floss.social/tags/LiveJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiveJournal</a>, people didn't repost that often there and the slogan 'make original content!' meant "post your images and not work of others". Mostly have to read from the browser.
