Holmes Minor's Future

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

The new TOS have left us all feeling understandably rattled.

We definitely want to continue having holmes_minor on LJ but we are now considering making a mirror comm for it on Dreamwidth, so that members can post where they feel most comfortable. The mods will be active on both sides, commenting and keeping an eye on things.

How does everyone feel?

Sounds good to me.

Well, I'm on DW also. I hate to say it, but it seems like a good idea.

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

I say run with that idea! See you on DW.

Good of you to keep it going...happy with whatever you are happy with.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're OK with it ^^ We hate to split the comm like this but we want everyone to be comfortable.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

It does mean the comm will still exist somewhere if the worst happens ^^"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

It does look like we will be making a DW Holmes Minor ^^ I'll put up another post here when the community has been created.

I think we are going to make a Dreamwidth Holmes Minor ^^ It's sad in a way to split the comm like this but we want everyone to be comfortable.

These are turbulent times and a backup is an excellent idea in any case. Re: your concerns, it's always possible for the community to reevaluate a few months down the line to see how it's working out for everyone. Flexibility is key, I think.

(I'm on both platforms, prefer LJ but am seeing so many friends moving to DS that the balance is starting to tilt that way.)

...it's always possible for the community to reevaluate a few months down the line to see how it's working out for everyone. You're quite right. Everything feels so fraught and unsettled at the moment - we'll just have to see how things go.

Most of the people I know are staying on LJ - it's all the comms that seem to be moving ^_^ But I'm happy to maintain a presence on both sites.

I'll support whatever you decide.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Good to know!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

The idea of having a backup makes sense for sure.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Indeed - will see you there.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

It's such a lovely little comm - it would be a shame to lose it, together with Frankles hard work.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm starting to follow comms on both platforms - just in case. And definitely prefer LJ (as you know).

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Excellent - thank you!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^ It does look as though we're going to make a mirror comm on DW - but we'll be carrying on as normal on LJ too.
