jlhThere's probably a bad Yakov Smirnoff joke in here someplace, like "In America you hate blogs; in Russia blog hates you!" but better. ANYWAY.
I crosspost from DW and have been doing so for almost a year now. It's incredibly easy, as is backing up your LJ onto DW. I don't think anyone feels like I've left LJ, and I really haven't. I have no intention of leaving LJ, either.
However, it just seems prudent to back up journals and fics and things on other platforms as well. My fic is on LJ, DW, and AO3 as well as various fandom-specific and ship-specific archives. I feel good knowing that if any one thing goes down all won't be lost. Not to mention that on those days when LJ is down, it's nice to be able to talk to you all in other places like twitter and DW and the like.
A big thing I do like better about DW: you can expand people's cut-tags without leaving your reading (friend) page. Seriously, if I know you and you write long posts and you cross post I'm much more likely to read your post on DW. (I also tend to comment on the DW post if you're crossposting.)
Anyway I have like, a metric fuckton of DW invite codes so if anyone needs one let me know. And it isn't hard to get onto AO3, which has a great interface and makes uploading your fics from LJ incredibly easy.
