Speaking Of Living On The Internet ...

kadharonon linked to this here post by yuki_onna on the LJ Fatigue that seems to be going around, and the possible reasons for it. I think in my case, it was simply that I’ve added too many feeds and whatnot to my friends’ page, so now I get so overwhelmed trying to keep up with everyone that I wind up keeping up with no one. The reasons she gives are also surprisingly painful—having people leave for another site is more of a wrench than I’d have ever thought. (No, seriously, it was a blow when Ursula Vernon started her own blog, even if every post does get mirrored here.)

I probably still won’t be very timely with my comments, but I’ve been trying to keep up, especially with my core group of friends on here, because quite a lot of you are FRIENDS, and not just in the online Hey-We-Both-Like-Cake-And-Have-Blogs-We-Are-Now-Friends sense. I’d rather not lose that, so unless I get hit by a truck or something, I assure you I’ll definitely be sticking around.

I got kind of resentful of DW just because everyone suddenly started declaring it MOAR BETTERER and leaving, and I couldn't see a difference.

And yes, if they aren't in the LJ interface it's harder to find them, figure out how to comment, etc. I do have a harder time tracking them down, and it often seems like leaving LJ is some sort of challenge or an attempt to block people.

I always figured there'd be an ebb and flow with each person's individual blog--but the all at once thing is sort of a shock.

Glad to see you'll still be around!
