DW issues

[ashbet]

When I backed up my LJ, DW unfortunately tried to import my entire LJ friendslist (which is good, in some ways -- but most of those people don't have DW accounts), and that's why I'm running into the "can't have more than 1000 accounts in your circles" error that prevents me from adding anyone new.

(Also, TBH, I'd be leery of switching to a service that tops out the number of friends you can add, bc I do have quite a few people on my LJ, and am happy to keep it that way -- some stuff just gets filtered a little more tightly, if necessary.)

Ugh, it's going to be *fun* trying to figure out which of those 982 "DW friends" listed actually even have DW accounts under the same name!

So, I'm about to do a mass unfriending and then start adding people back -- I've taken a screenshot of my few friends who I'd already added as DW accounts, so if you see yourself removed and re-added, that's why.

*rubs temples crankily*

Same username there and same content; I'm going to be crossposting, I think, until I find a better way to back up my posts. I used "LJ book" to save my old journal ten years ago, but now I think there's a fee for that service--and if I have to put my real name and visa card number on it that further dilutes privacy...

I really miss LJ-Archive, but the person who wrote it didn't keep the code up to date after a certain point, so it can't be used with LJ in its current state.

Backing it up is a good idea, as is making copies of icons, just in case.
