Aug. 3rd, 2007 01:47 pmHi, this is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird - same as ij:Solarbird - not involved in any of the fandoms being targeted today, but no longer trusting the Six Apart version of LJ not to just start deleting data anymore. Since I use them in part as an offsite data store - I have separate accounts for that - that trust is pretty critical to me, so I'm afraid LJ just hit FAIL and I'm trying to figure out what to do. The odds aren't bad that I'll be echoing my LJ around to InsaneJournal and/or running the codebase at the Murknet and echoing there. And moving datastore activities off the LJ accounts I use for that, of course.
Really, no, I don't expect anything whatsoever to happen - particularly not to the data-store accounts, murknet and uplake - but offsite data storage (such as website data hosting for embedding purposes) requires trust. Most significantly, it requires trust that data just won't go away, particularly not on purpose. I've just built a third website around the idea that I could rely on LJ not being deeply stupid, and now LJ has demonstrated that they are perfectly willing to toss data overboard without warning, and try to at least obscure the fact that they did it. I genuinely can't imagine anything on either of those journals could ever trigger such a thing - but there it is, now, in the back of my brain. So I'm going to be looking for a mirror solution, in case 6A does anything particularly stupid, as seems to now be their wont.
(I can, just barely, imagine that kind of action for this LJ, in the back of my brain - mostly because what triggered the first round of this back in May was complaints from a theoconservative asshattery group. They hates me, oh they dooooo. 6A hasn't indicated in any way that they're that reactive, but, well, I can just barely imagine them becoming so. They have indicated that they'll blow off their own TOS and point to other TOS that isn't even posted when called on it. So it's hard to say.)
Anyway. So that's fun. We'll be poking at the LJ codebase for the Murknet this weekend. Yay. MurkJ, anyone?
