I agree that Facebook is too often evil. I have lots of friends there, however, that were never on LJ, and who would never have been convinced to go to LJ even if FB & MySpace had never existed.
As to keeping up your account there, I hope you've backed up what you can here, just in case. I think the people now running LJ are much more intentionally evil than the ones running FB, who I currently see as greedy and manipulative, but not intentionally oppressive.
But I certainly understand wanting to keep the photo hosting, and I support you doing whatever works best for you. I just fear that LJ (even if it hasn't become a finger of Putin's government, and it might be that) is no longer a secure place to keep stuff. I fear anything stored only there could vanish with no recourse to reclaim it.
