It's an Empty Place

Went back to LJ's homepage for the first time in a while. I note the new look, and I've got to admit it looks better than it once did, but it doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of improving the content on the site. The problem with LJ was never really the appearance, it was that everyone on it just sort of left for a whole host of reasons. The way it looks and acts only papers over the fact that most of the non-ONTD communities are sort of dead.

Well, I guess of those two there's only one problem you can really fix. Who knows?

Yeah, I think LJ thinks that as long as they can be as close to Facebook as possible they'll become as successful as Facebook, not grasping that there's no need for two of anything. I still pop back every now and again but my communities are mostly dead so there's little reason to follow up. I wish it would get livelier here, but I think most people have been sucked into Tumblr and/or Instagram.
