Anon anon

A brief admin announcement: I've finally given in and disallowed anonymous comments on this journal. The vast majority of anonymous comments I've had in the last couple of years have been spam (which I started screening so it didn't annoy my readers, but it still annoys me & I still have to delete it); a handful have been friends forgetting they weren't logged in (sorry, guys, but you'll just have to log in); but there have been so few actual genuine anonymous comments (and they tend to be drive-by advice from people I don't know) that I reckon I can live without them for the sake of not having to delete a ton of new comments from Japanese spammers and viagra sellers every time I check my mail.

PS: yes, I know that Dreamwidth has no spam at all and you get a free open-source magical kitten with every account. I do have a username there; I don't have the mental energy at the moment to start figuring out how to migrate sensibly.

Good plan, I think - you seemed to be a particular victim of Japanese spam. I too haven't been bothered to migrate to dreamwidth, just use it with openid from time to time.

Lewis? Is that you? I am waiting for you, Lewis.

I dunno if the barrier is the doing or the figuring out, but:

1) do the "migrate my whole LJ" thing DW has
2) set up crossposting and post to DW from then on
3) (optionally) when you see a post on LJ that has been crossposted to DW, add that person on DW and remove them from your default LJ fiends view.

1) and 2) are easy; 3) is an ongoing process and can be done as slow as you like.

The barrier is finding a spare tuit (& also knowing that if I do move to DW I will want to faff around with layout and style and stuff, and that will take More Tuits) but thank you for making it clearer what I'd actually have to do if I find that tuit - that does help! :-)
