What we need is a new platform that has both private and public posting options and handles text, images, and videos. And then we need a mass migration. MeWe has some potential. Anyone have any other ideas??
I’m trying to think if there’s any way in which LiveJournal doesn’t meet your requirements. I greatly prefer LJ and I never left. I resisted tumblr until I had to get one for TPP, and I have never acclimatized. But then, by tumblr standards, I am quite old.
I’ve never entirely understood why Live Journal or its cousin Dreamwidth fell out of favor. Okay, it’s *much* easier to post images on tumblr. But it’s far, far easier to hold a conversation on Live Journal. I never left it either, and neither have my fandoms; both Holmes and Doctor Who have active newsletters aggregating all the LJ content for/from the fans.
It happened because LJ went through a series of acquisitions by other companies, and for several years it was very badly managed. A series of poor decisions drove people from the site in waves, and it finished crashing out right around the time of early BBC Sherlock fandom.
Since then, the company has finally gotten its act together, fixed many of the things that went wrong, revised their policies, added desirable functionality like reblogging and is now making a serious effort at a renaissance.
