Before everyone gets upset (and they will) about the story going the rounds that someone's LJ has been banned for 'gay' content by our Russian overlords, they might like to read this

before panicking.
Though copperbadge's advice will never cease to be relevant.

Perhaps time for a shedload of pro gay and gay positive posts to test the water?

My own blog makes plain in the intro that: 'anyone of any gender (or none or at any point on the spectrum), sexuality (or none), relationship style (or none) race, creed (or none) colour, neurotype or level of physical or mental ability' is welcome (and they come and I've had no problems. :o)
That said, I'm DW based these days and x post, just popping by to comment on friends' posts but that's down to LJ's continuing style idiocies and 'improvements' and general lack of reliability which is another story altogether!
I do back up to DW every so often, though most of my fic is posted direct to Denial (but I always keep a copy of all fic on my PC anyway).

But having said that, I think it's pretty clear the rumour is bullshit from a known drama queen.
I must do another back-up soon, too.
The backup facility is very good, and it's great that we can back up comms as well.
It's much like LJ used to be before all the 'improvements' to make it handle like 'facebookski'- If I really wanted FB, I'd go there........
But as part of it, we took a modly decision to back up anyway, because of the amount of directly posted stuff we have, as Reggie has mentioned below. It seemed sensible, in any event.
