Closed quite a few accounts and it’s always interesting to see the comparison of how many sites I used to use VS how many I use now. Abandoning a lot of places like FB and Twitter have done wonders for my mental, and also made me realize how addicted I was to the Neverending Doomscroll. xD
Outside of Discord, I only use Pillowfort and Dreamwidth and it’s honestly refreshing to not be tied to so many sites.
Still debating on what I want to do with my site, and still mourning the loss of Status Cafe (the site is still alive, but I discovered a weird JS worm crawling through the site and abandoned my account there out of concern). I wanted a site to mostly host fic and journal entries, and I feel like Dreamwidth does that just fine. A part of that could be the laziness talking, but who knows. xD
I was looking at Status Cafe recently and thinking of maybe making an account there—had no clue about this worm. I also looked it up and saw what I assume is a forum post of yours explaining the issue further. Thanks for the heads up. Very unfortunate.
YEAHHHHH it sucks b/c it's lesser known b/c the site itself is lesser known, and I REALLY loved how well it worked for scratching that itch of wanting to post short form statues w/o needing something like Facebook or Twitter. ; o;
and YEAHHHHHH, someone else made a forum post and I was happy to FINALLY find that quite a few folks were noticing the same issue, but considering that the creator of the site hasn't been around in over a year, I doubt it's getting fixed anytime soon, so it was just easier to keep myself safe and stop using than to potentially expose myself to something harmful. INCREDIBLY unfortunate b/c I miss it so much.
