LJ Usage

General
Please check out my PATREON at https://www.patreon.com/Beetlecat if you are interested in seeing more of my art including regular videos and behind the scenes content.
So I did this poll ages ago and I'm curious to see if the results have changed.
1) Do you have/use LJ? Do you read it (how often per day/week do you check it) vs Do you comment in it vs Do you write up journal entries in it?
Vs how often you did these things a couple years ago..
It seem like everyone still reads it but doesn't comment in it or write journal entries? How does that work? XD
2) I've seen a very recent 'resurgence' in people using LJ. True yes no? Are you using it more now than you did just 6 months ago?
Basically, my own journal is more or less abandoned and I'm wondering if it's worth cross-posting things again.. I stopped because people stopped commenting so I assume they stopped reading. But maybe not?
Livejournal roundtable discussion time!

FA+

I just have a general aversion to sharing my life so publicly.
I'm kinda sad that's gone
But I honestly don't know if people really use LJ anymore.. I don't know anyone who does really ;;
sorry dude. The good ol' days ffffff we all have something we miss
I noticed quite a few people making posts about the fact that they hardly use LJ lately, indeed.
If you're interested, feel free to add me there! It's friends only but I'll add people who I know or would like to get to know. (HenriekeG)
2) I think its seeing more use, though dont have any empirical evidence to back it up.
I was addicted to LJ a few years ago - posted several times a day, was active on several communities. I just lost interest in blogging. I don't really feel the need to share my daily thoughts with people I don't talk to directly anymore.
2) I know a few furs who are using it, but not enough for me to return. Just seems like a pain if you ask me.
Since I work at home at my keyboard, I probably check it oh, about 10 times a day because I'm simultaneously keeping tabs on like a bunch of different websites like my email, FA, etc.
As far as the "resurgence" goes... I haven't really noticed much of a difference? The people that post frequently there always have, really. And it's only 1-4 out of the 62 people I follow. So it's overall pretty dead from what it used to be. Most people have moved on to Twitter, Tumblr, etc.
Save for maybe one or two on said communities.
nobody posts there now that i know. all here or on fb.
I haven't been using mine lately but that is only because my life is boring and I have nothing to get off my mind. I have started using it a little bit more though, hopefully that can continue.

I have a LJ, I don't post any more except to communities but I do check it daily and contribute comments where I can.
2) I've seen a very recent 'resurgence' in people using LJ. True yes no? Are you using it more now than you did just 6 months ago?
Apart from the communities I follow, LJ has become deader to me with more people using tumblr (but not to post real life stuff just to cross post things they personally enjoy, strangely enough).
I do kind of regret not getting involved with LJ back when it was really big. I can tell that there was a really neat culture that developed there that doesn't seem to be anywhere else. I've mostly read archived posts from different journals/communities here and there, but it seems like LJ has a lot to do with the furry fandom being as tight-knit as it it.
The same thing could be also said of journal posts here in FA.
2) I'd like to go back to LJ's blogging format, but most of what I was there for originally has moved on to tumblr. So I haven't been paying it any notice, except to read fanfiction.
I do use it for personal entries though as often as I feel the need to vomit my emotions into words.
People could be reading other entries and either not commenting or write their own entries probably due from lazyness or intimidation or lack of inspirations or ideas of what to say. So probably in your case maybe they didn't know what to say as comments to your entries.
2) I've been using it about the same as I did 6 months ago.
I've returned to using LJ more often after discovering a fursuit group to chat in. I post every other month, as opposed to bi-weekly at my most active times. I don't have any local friends who still use Lj. :/
I do post sometimes, but its rare.
Yes, I do have and use LJ. I check it once a day, sometimes twice a day. I don't often post on it, but do reply to posts on there, on occasion.
Vs how often you did these things a couple years ago..
I used to post a lot more on it a couple of years ago, but, as I mentioned above, that's dropped off dramatically.
It seem like everyone still reads it but doesn't comment in it or write journal entries? How does that work?
I think most people just glance over the entries and only reply if they feel they can contribute to the post in some way.

Haven't noticed a "resurgence" of people using LJ over the last 6 months per se. It could be in other areas of interest, but don't really know. As for using LJ more... I'd say not really. I'm using it about the same now, as I was then.
