So if you guys hadn't heard yet...
LiveJournal is *literally* going to turn into Tumblr. Force a single (ugly) layout onto everyone's friends page and turn on eternal scrolling. (Though without an easy way to post photos, I guess, since their scrapbook is still messed up. And wtf is the use of Tumblr if not the easy posting and reposting of images? LJ, you fail bigtime.)
Like many of the people leaving comments on that post, I cannot deal with that. I've mostly left LJ already, thank goodness, but I still read my friends list. "Read" as in present tense, but if they actually go through with this, "read" will become past tense. I'll miss reading everyone's posts, but... yeah. There are several reasons I don't use Tumblr, and LJ is implementing a few of them.
Again I'd recommend that for a nice blogging experience where the people in charge understand how people use journaling services and care about making their userbase happy, give Dreamwidth a try. (No invite codes have been needed since last year, for the record.) I know people have held out because "people/fandoms are already here on LJ", but I'm guessing there will be a lot fewer people/fandoms on LJ after this crap.
