I enjoyed LJ for a few years (my first blog, 2005-2008). Wrote a good deal about startups that I explored as a user in that period (this was the APG era, where APG stands for After Paul Graham, meaning after he wrote his early influential essays about startups and his launching YC - called Startup School at the time, IIRC) and other software topics. But later, after a Russian group acquired LJ: https://jugad.livejournal.com/174406.html https://jugad.livejournal.com/174406.html (2nd post on the subject, there was a previous one on the same blog, IIRC). Interestingly, some years later, I mentioned the same point, on my next blog or on Twitter, and then suddenly my old blog became accessible again (it was not, for a while, after the above-linked incident).
