So I received the 'action blocked' error for anything I tried to do in Instagram on my laptop. I could, however, use IG on any of my other devices. The problem was two fold:

1. I use my laptop more than any other single device (I regularly use 5) when browsing the web / social media.
2. Searching through all the only posts / comments about the 'action blocked' came up with squat - it was all advice on account level issues - meaning it would be universal for all devices and thus didn't apply to me.

I finally figured out the problem by going back to basics - I just logged out of IG and cleared my cache in Chrome.

The problem now is that I read all those posts / videos about "don't do anything in IG for a while to remove the action ban because they're trying to make sure that everyone is having meaningful interactions".

I follow a lot of popular illustrators. That means that I do a lot of 'liking'. So now I find myself NOT clicking like on posts that have thousands of likes. I know that won't matter for those artists, but I fear that IG's algorithm with stop serving them up to me because they think I don't like those artists anymore.

I can't believe how stressed out that's making me.

ETA: How many minutes later, and the issue is back. #sigh

 New year. New writing stuff. Tom mentioned starting back up on LJ while over on FB and the discussion mentioned DW. Recalling the fact that I have an account here, I thought I would pop my head back in and take another look around.

Nice, clean site. Less clutter. The fact that it allows for cross posting over to LJ is a big perk. Certainly I would not bother being here if it didn't. If I'm going to leave LJ, it's not going to be for an LJ clone when my LJ peeps would have to jump ship too. You're just not going to get that many people to all jump to the same new ship. Not if it's so similar.

Anyway, I like the site. It would need some work (bringing over my friends list etc) if I wanted to use it as my primary though. I'll have to think about it. And really - if I'm going to be blogging, is there any reason for me to not do it on dragonbones, google plus, or on the ol' LJ? Not really sure.

What do you think?
