Okay, so people who have been out of the loop, Livejournal has gone through another purchase/”merger.” I know, I know, “Livejournal? Really? That’s still alive?” And you have a very good point.
But honestly this new ownership is the most responsive I’ve seen since Brad sold the place. They’ve been asking users what they want, they’ve put back in subject lines in comments, they’ve made all sorts of changes that people actually seem to want made.
Including, in response specifically to me, long-overdue resumption of support for Bandcamp embeds. That used to work, and stopped working, about three years ago? Whenever Bandcamp went to iframes for their players. Previous ownership didn’t answer questions about it. Current support just said ‘Okay!’ and “bandcamp embedding should work now!”
O.o
Which is the entire point of this post. Let’s see if this works, shall we?
eta: oh my gods it works. This hasn’t worked in three years. SEE HOW WE STOMP FOR… Livejournal?
I’m not sure what it means that we’ve reached the point where “I ask a website to fix something and they actually do it” results in _utter astonishment and excitement_, but 1) we have, and 2) _omg they did the thing it works_!
@NMamatas Ask a website to fix something and they actually do it: _confusion and astonishment_. New ownership is… promising? #daretodream
