A Requiem For Livejournal

"In its heyday, almost everyone I knew – everyone who mattered, anyway! – was on Livejournal." "I’m not sure how things are on the Russian-language version of the site, but the English-language site has become a tacky ghost town." "But Livejournal, I miss you- and I’m using Livejournal as a synecdoche for those of my friends who drifted away from the site and thus from me."

Well, I post a lot less than I used to, but a lot of the posts I used to make were articles, short jokes, a single paragraph, or similar really short bits of content, all of which I put up on Facebook now instead because it's better-designed to handle that. I save Livejournal for the longer, more introspective posts, which Facebook CAN handle but not as well and without as much control.
