I ATEN'T DED
I haven't vanished; I've mostly shifted to InsaneJournal.
April posts.
I've also been active at
metametameta, and created
lexiconga where I'm slowly uploading the text of the filings for the WB/JKR v RDR Books trial. (The Harry Potter Lexicon trial.)
I'm still commenting in some places on LJ, but I don't check it as often. And I'm not getting most email notifications of comments (I get some, but not others. Weird.), so I lose track of conversations, and I probably won't notice replies to older comments in other people's journals. (I look at LJ from My LJ, so I know when people have commented on my journal. It's everywhere else that I have trouble tracking.)
For anyone who missed the background:
I'm very unhappy with the various censorships by the owners. This includes Strikethrough last May and June, the unsearchable interest terms (many still unsearchable), the temporary removal of interests from the publicly-viewable listings of top intersts (wouldn't want potential advertisers to know that a lot of people at LJ like sex, fairies or bisexuality). And since they've removed Basic accounts as an option for new accounts, and are working on a new sponsored-paid account... there will be more and more ads creeping into LJ. I don't like ads. I especially don't like ads that support the idea that a customer protest is blackmail and intimidation. And I'm not comfortable with the explore feature that can spotlight communities whether the mods want it or not, unless they f'lock the whole community.
It's possible this is my last public post here. It's possible this is my last post, period, and I'll only use this account to read & comment in other people's journals. It was... interesting, not posting for a whole month.
