I haven't gotten a thorough look at all of it yet, although my immediate reaction was that no one's mentioned how pretty the new comment fields are! The loss of functionality, though, just seems stupid, as you say. And it's part of a general pattern of stupidity I'd rather just get away from.

Still not as bad as Facebook, at least. Had a rage-quit them over their manhandling of privacy policy . . .

I'd been holding back from migrating comments over here out of fear of losing commenters, but actually I've been hoping for slightly less traffic lately. Not that I want to turn anyone away who's interested in my posts or end up f-locking everything, but . . . Sometimes I wish my journal felt a bit more intimate again, you know? So I figured why not.
