I haven't really used LJ regularly in years. My first journal page with my last 25 entries takes me all the way back to 2012. It doesn't help much that this site won't work right if I have trackers blocked. I can't read comments unless I turn 'em all off.
Mm, every few years, some new hotness emerges on the “social” scene, and everyone flocks to it - or, more accurately, furrydom shards yet again. =:/
LJ suits me well. I can be verbose, occasionally eloquent, and catch up with friends as and when I have time, whether that’s a couple times a day, or at the weekends. And thankfully, enough fuzzbutts remain to keep it enjoyable - and I’ve even found some particularly cool humans hereabouts, too. =:)
I honestly don't understand why it's not more popular. I mean granted my experience here is a bit different as I am a paid account, but... minimal data-mining, more "rambling" allowed, etc.
Facebook really is quite evil, given their blatant, almost malware-esque attempts to exploit their users' private information, even to the point of asking for passwords to various accounts (?!). Twitter is less malignant and a good source of headline-level information, but it is by definition meant to be superficial.
