This post is one you need to read if you are concerned by 6A jumping the failboat and selling off Livejournal. SUP is a company you should worry about, all mafia jokes aside. The concerns that the real issue behind flagging posts is one of political opinion and free speech is of genuine concern. Yeah we could shrug and say "Oh well, it's Russia, what can you do?" But I don't think we should. If we are citizens of a global network, we need to fight for all of us to have the same right to express our opinions.

SixApart - you fail.

LJ Archive works well--you install the software and then it downloads journal and comments. I used it today with an old journal I was going to delete anyway and it wasn't that difficult to work with. Just FYI.

No problem! There's also LJ Book, which turns your journal into a PDF file (though it doesn't save comments, just entries), but everyone's using it right now--gee, I wonder why--so you might not be able to get into the system there.
