Some rare evidence against the continuing decline of Livejournal: last year I counted only 26 posts with 12 or more comments from the previous twelve months, compared with 32 with at least 15 comments the year before and 42 with at least 20 from three years ago. This year I have 37 posts above last year's threshold of 12 comments, though we are still down compared to previous years' cutoffs (22 had 15 or more comments, 13 had 20 or more). Perhaps I was just writing more interesting stuff. The top posts from the last twelve-ish months were:
