Russell,
It might be a simple case that the IP address of the server has been
blacklisted by livejournal.com for some reason?
As a test, I used curl on the server:
:# curl https://www.livejournal.com/
<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>
Then I found an open proxy online and tried with that proxy:
:# curl -x "http://61.29.96.146:8000"; https://www.livejournal.com/
The website code was displayed (too long to copy and paste here, and no
benefit)
Not sure what calls the rss update on the server, maybe stop the update
for a day and see if the blacklist is lifted? Has anything been updated
in recent days?

I run Planet Linux Australia because the previous operators gave up on it (see
the above URL). Since 9PM last night it has been getting errors on Julien
Goodwin's blog (the only Live Journal blog used). In a test the Debian/Buster
chroot used for the Planet installation (software that isn't supported in
Debian/Bullseye) was given HTTP response 403 from Live Journal.
Here's what happens when I try to use wget to get Julien's feed on Buster:

Bullseye got the same result.
Here's what happens with Debian/Testing:

So it seems that as of last night the LiveJournal server changed something to
reject wget and Planet running on Debian/Buster and Debian/Bullseye.
A quick test on my server on the Oracle Cloud showed that Ubuntu/Focal (20.04
- released in 2020) works with wget.
Any ideas on what this could be?
Also Julien, you haven't blogged for almost 3 years, are you planning to start
doing so again and if so will it be on LiveJournal or some other service? You
have one of the better blogs, it would be good if you chose to blog again.
