Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE, LJ.

As per this news post: you can now repost any of your journal entries or comments immediately to Facebook or Twitter. Isn't that lovely

i hate dreamwidth so all i can do is hope lj removes it head out of its ass. waaah.

[fera_festiva]

Yeah, I'd rather not move, but... :/

(Out of interest, why aren't you a DW fan?)

[spacefragments]

i'm just sick of it being touted at the great savior of fandom in journaling services or whatever the fuck (particularly by people who have all but left lj but still feel the need to yap about it every time it fails to talk about how evil it is. dude, you're not even here anymore, why do you care). also one of its founders turned out to be bugfuck insane, so.

also, all of my communities are active here and don't have a dw mirror, and crossposting is a hassle i'd rather not bother with. if i were to move there, i wouldn't have much to look forward to in terms of activity. basically, until the mass fandom move some people have been predicting doesn't happen, i'm not moving there or anywhere else.

[fera_festiva]

Yeah, fair enough. Given how much LJ seems to cock up I sort of like the idea of an alternative journal site, but... well, most people/comms have stayed here and not bothered moving to DW, haven't they. So yeah, when DW fans go on about how wonderful it is, I do get a bit ¬_¬ about it.

I didn't know about an insane founder! That sounds like some juicy gossip

someone had to make the connection for me but denise = synecdochic

[fera_festiva]

Bahahaha, thank you! There goes my afternoon. *makes popcorn*

[spacefragments]

oh wait, apparently i had a name mix-up, the actualfax crazy one was the other mod. still, worth a look anyway.

Piss wizards.

[fera_festiva]

Reading it now. I think the other mod is the most crazy, but tbh anyone involved in what sounds like the worst fic universe in the history of anything can't be totally sane.

Re: Piss wizards.

[spacefragments]

looool yeah, definitely. she still had that "it hurts me in my heart that you'd be so meen to my ficverse in my own comm ;_____;" thing going on

[fera_festiva]

IKR. Baaaaawwwwwww. The story itself just sounds awful, too. Not that I've read any Scientology texts but I imagine that's sort of what they're like. JOIN US!... JOIN US!

[shyfoxling]

You mean quin? *shrug* I dunno, even if it were Denise, saying things that get you on fandom_wank I don't think is a disqualifier - even I turned up on fandom_wank once (some kind of Snape wank about three years ago, a post taken out of context which was intentionally over the top). *shrug*

[spacefragments]

no, ivorygates.

[shyfoxling]

Ah, ok. Not familiar with that name. (Nor do I really want to know - I stay away from fandom_wank as a matter of course.)

[shyfoxling]

also one of its founders turned out to be bugfuck insane, so.

Uh? From my experience of Mark and Denise in person, they're both fine. *scratches head*

[epithalamium]

I don't have a DW mirror either. And for some reason, the 'politically correct' terms, 'Reading List' and 'Circle' (instead of the 'loaded' Friends one) turns me off. I don't wan't to leave LJ either. I hope it all gets fixed soon. D:

[spacefragments]

ahaha "circle" sounds fucking stupid. i'd just call it a flist anyway, meh. i'm old and set in my ways.
