I'm now over at
InsaneJournal. My plan is to post there, and only there. No xposting.
I will be maintaining this LJ for the sole purpose of following friends and communities that are remaining on LJ. So you'll see me commenting from time to time, but no posting. If you don't have an IJ, are unable to RSS feed me, or otherwise don't feel that keeping up with me will be easy because of this change, please comment. This plan of mine is a work in progress, and I aspire to be able to keep track of all my pals, make sure all my pals can keep track of me, and get off the godawful LJ drama llama all at once.
If you are moving off of LJ to a place that is not InsaneJournal, please comment. I do not plan on losing track of any of my peeps, and if that means making an RSS feed for your GJ or some other solution, I will do it.
If you have an IJ and I haven't friended you yet, never fear. It'll take me a few days to search y'all out over there.
If you have an IJ but it won't have all your content on it, would you take a moment and comment to let me know the details? My current plan is to friend IJs and defriend the duplicate journals on LJ. If I'll miss something in your case by doing that, let me know so I don't do it!
For the record, I am moving the majority of my social networking off of LJ partly because of the cumulative stupidity of their "secret TOS" rulings, appalling customer service, and apparent lack of a PR person or lawyer on retainer. The tipping point for me was when it was strongly suggested by a member of LJ staff that the two artists who were suspended for drawings had been reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which is where the FBI refers child pornography complaints. Since it was clear, even by LJ staff's own eventual admission, that the drawings in question were not of minors, if LJ did report these artists, they filed a false complaint of the most damaging and life-destroying kind. That is unforgivable, and I am unwilling to stick around on a site that is so cavalier with such behavior.
