Those who are unhappy enough with LJ to have at least partly moved to IJ, or who wish they could have but didn't want to put up with its flaws, may wish to start following Dreamwidth, which will be going into open beta at the end of the month. I'm seriously considering buying either a paid account or a "seed" account (permanent account), myself. elfwreck says mo' things mo' betta here, but one thing I think is particularly keen is that they've changed the LiveJournal code to include the "watch/trust" split that so many of us have longed for (separating the functions of "I want to read this person's posts" from "I want this person to have access to my locked posts" that are currently merged in LJ's "friends").

It looks good, but... does this mean soon there'll be 3 flists to keep track of, and 3-way crossposting necessary?
*is too tired for all of this*

I dunno, it depends how many people actually go there. I hear you on the annoyance of multiple flists, though. I already have 3 (esmestrella on both sites, and starlightforest on LJ only), so this would be a fourth for me :-/ I dunno. I just get a good feeling from them and want to support their project. I'm not sure if they might manage to draw people who went to IJ because it was the best of the clones, but haven't felt great about it either.

Thanks for letting us know about Dreamwidth. :)

Are you thinking of getting a paid account or a "seed" account at Dreamwidth or LJ?

The watch/trust split from Dreamwidth sounds real handy.

Paid on Dreamwidth, I mean. I've been a paid user on LJ from the start.
