The content strike
"The one-day content strike is on for this Friday, March 21, from midnight GMT to midnight GMT.
For 24 hours, we will not post or comment to LJ. Not in our own journals, not in communities. Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock.
This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics.
This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do.
This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users and the concept of adfree space.
This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content."

I agree that lj has been doing too much of their work without us users knowing anything aobut it. Especially the removal of basic-sign up irked me, since I still only have a basic account. This is our chance to show them who's the boss xD
So count me in on the strike, and I ask you to do the same.
