Meta / LJ: there are no DEPRESSED or BISEXUAL people on LJ, either!

[erestor]

PLEASE READ THIS ENTRY

It lists all the popular interests that LJ has erased from its "most popular" list - which would be

Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, and Bisexuality

This is not a joke. According to SUP/LJ, there are no people on LJ who are interested in sex, fanfiction, yaoi

According to Stewardess, "Faeries" can also be a term connected with bisexuality. So yes, it makes sense. And depression? I mean - WTF? I think this will end up being some "family friendly" place in the end, which can't work. LJ as a model to make a lot of money can't work, no matter what approach they take. It can pay the bills and the staff and the servers, but it can't make anybody filthy rich. Had 6apart and SUP bothered to take a closer look at the product they bought and tried to understand how LJ is working, they'd known that

I'm not certain what I'm going to do at this point. Obviously the atmosphere is changing for the worse and people are leaving...and I don't want to lose some of the good friends I've found here.

Let me know if you find a good option. For now I'll stay here, back up my journal, and try to find a place that will work.

Actually that's not me. I have a GJ account but that's it. I've been considering IJ though just in case.

I really don't know what will happen with this LJ here. For Joyful Molly, I have two backup-options, InsaneJournal and wordpress, but as for Erestor - well. If it's gone, it's gone, I suppose. I have my backup. I'd just hate to lose the community, but in the longterm, it will be unavoidable.

"If it's gone, it's gone, I suppose."

No! InsaneJournal looks very much like LJ some time ago. Can't you transfer it over there?

And for the community: If things turn worse a lot of people will leave. Why not leave to the same new address?
