Hey there.

 Hi.  I'm a refugee from Facebook. 

20 years ago I was a young man and just getting into paganism when LiveJournal was a thing.  I had 3 or 4 good years on LJ and its pagan communities.  Then everyone started going to Facebook (which I never liked), and not long afterward LJ was sold to the Russians which accelerated the abandoning-LJ-for Facebook trend, making LJ a veritable ghost town.   

So I am kind of excited to get back to an LJ-like journal.    

Anyway, I am a Norse pagan of sorts.  Read my bio and if you like what you see, feel free to add me.

Ok, I added you, we can try it out...:)

Hi. I'm not even exactly a pagan, but I kind of hang out on the peripheries of witchy communities? I like T. Thorn Coyle a lot.

Also, thank you for summing up the history of the LJ to Facebook transition. That... was almost exactly my experience. Although eventually I left Facebook for Mastodon, which is *also* not as good as LJ/DW.

Hi! I would say you're "pagan adjacent" then, and that is totally cool! :-)

I have never tried Mastadon.

I was on Redditt for a while. There are less memes and people actually do have conversations, so that is a point in its favor. However, the median age of the average user seems to be 20 years younger than me. I had problems connecting with people. Heck, I often didn't even understand their slang. They made me feel old. *sigh*

Oh, yes, "adjacent" is a good term.

Mastodon is okay, given that it is a Twitter clone. It's nice to not be beholden to a big company. I don't have a sense of the age range. I feel like there are a fair number of Millennials, but I am a Millennial, so that might be selection bias.
