Funny, to me it was an indicator of her age (ie when she started using the Internet). I have the same reaction to articles on blogger. I associate Medium with minimalist know-it-all bearded fixie hipster programmers (under 35). :p Still better then the SV(u)btle peeps (but less exclusive, by invitation only peeps, let's keep it classy!).

In all seriousness, I've only run into two groups that (in my personal experience) still use LJ: Eastern Europeans, especially Russians, and pop-culture related "creators" (which is the broad brush that I'm painting fan art, fanfiction, etc with). It's a really weird mix.

For fun I wanted to see what it would look like http://i.imgur.com/IiLVfU5.png

There is often a bit of truth in a joke. I wonder if the "medium" would change the reception of a story.
