I know that LJ has been all sorts of shitty lately. Being sketchy on trans issues certainly makes them lose a lot more points. (I totally missed the gender dropdown nonsense.)
The only thing that keeps me here is the network effect. If I just wanted to post publicly about my life, there's all sorts of options for that and anybody using LJ could just subscribe to an RSS feed. Because I vastly prefer to post everything protected, I feel a little bit tied to LJ because that's where most folks are.
Though, if I could read my LJ flist from DW, I'd likely switch to DW and just crosspost comment-locked entries to LJ.
