LJ why you gotta be dis way?
Here's the issue: I love LJ a lot. It's been my e-home since I was fourteen, and I sincerely dislike the idea of changing that. However, LJ also has some security issues, especially when it comes to public posts. I really have a problem with the "share this" button. I find it irritating, it slows down my computer, and the fact that my posts are being accessed by a third party site and then posted on Facebook or whatever sincerely bugs me. I've tried every combination of code I know to remove this link; I did find a way, but unfortunately, as of last night, LJ removed that option. I've asked elsewhere what I could possibly do, but I've received not answers thus far, leaving me with two equally unappealing options: go friends only, or move to Dreamwidth.
Okay, to explain about the friends only thing: I dislike because I think of LJ as a community, where if someone wants they can drop by and read my non-personal content without having to be on my flist and vice versa with other users. I like being open about things, and I really enjoy some of the discussions I've had with people who are not part of my flist either on their journal or mine. So, basically, I am an open person who dislikes not being open.
As for the Dreamwidth option, well, although I do prefer many of their choices to LJ's, I have to say I like all of the different layouts LJ offers, and as coding layouts is quickly becoming a major pastime of mine, I dislike the idea of moving. I also simply like the content on LJ. Most of my friends aren't mirrored over at DW, and I honestly don't want to give that up. So, yeah. What do you guys think?

Anyway, if I do go friends only, if there is anyone reading this journal who I don't already have added, please comment here. Actually, in general, if you'd like me to add you please comment here.
P.S. It's kind of cool how a lot of my previous tags have acquired new meaning.
