why so shitty LJ

[teromain]

So LJ is making yet another hideous aggravating change to itself that will probably become mandatory eventually. If anybody is moving to dreamwidth or even HAS a dreamwidth they're starting to use more, I'm over there as well under the exact same name, teromain, with all the exact same content. In fact I really prefer dreamwidth because I don't

OK, since I got my Dreamwidth page something like ages ago (but never hardly used it), I'll meet you there, if I can remember my password.

But really, the new Friends' page setup isn't all that shabby. DON'T HIT ME ^^', Of course, I'm usually in the minority about these things...

It's mostly obnoxious because it completely ignores whatever theme/colors/fonts/any presets you've got in your LJ theme and just makes it huge and white and basic. And they're also reacting like children to the complaints about it.

Actually what it seems to be doing is trying to make itself look like a tumblr dashboard. Which...no. Bad idea. :/

Shame, really. It used to be a very respected website. I think what I objected to initially was when they got rid of that button that allowed you to selected a journal at random--probably because nine times out of ten you got something written in Cyrillic.

Yeah, I don't know, LJ has just been driving itself into the ground in the past four or five years. It's only of the few sites left for people who liked to actually have big wordy posts (unlike FB, twitter, even tumblr is terrible for longer things) and now it's trying to turn itself into something like those other sites because they're more hip, or something.

C-----, this iPad is aggravating. It logged me out again.
