Starting Anew with Major Cull & Clean-Up

[ahavah]

Hello, friends! Long time no see. I'm throwing my hat back into the LJ ring. I allowed FB to take over, and I've really come to dislike the entire FB culture. The 'like'-clicking, meme-sharing, troll-fighting environment is not good for me. I miss having a safe place to bare my heart and soul. I missing meaningful connections with my friends. I

I think a lot of us are returning quality rather than quantity and limiting Facebook to return energy to LJ :)

[ahavah]

I really hope so!

I'm still here. :) I like LJ regardless of how inactive it is. :) Makes it more personal and safe.

[ahavah]

Yay! Glad a few people are. I could definitely use a little more safe & personal lately.

I'm still here, even if I'm not posting as much as I'd like. I want to have a more complete record of my life, so I'm planning on posting more.

Glad to hear it! I'm going to really try to stick with it this time.

Still here! I read everything, every day.

Sweet! I'm trying to get back in that habit. I've noticed that I definitely have been facebook-washed, in that I rarely comment (too used to clicking 'like) and my eyes tend to glaze over at long posts. lol But the first step is admitting you have a problem!

Well I'm still here after FB chucked me off! I tend to cross post links to my blog, but I comment a lot, and I'd hate to lose touch with you.

[ahavah]

Yay, I'm glad! I saw a few of your crossposts and was afraid you had left for greener pastures as well. I noticed your disappearance from FB. What happened?

[theafaye]

Long story. I think I posted about it on LJ when it happened, but basically FB decided that I was using my profile as a page and are insisting I convert it before they'll let me back on. The hoops I'll have to jump through to get my account back are just too much of a faff for a site I've always hated anyway, so I'm not bothering.

[ahavah]

That's a bunch of bunk considering that you actually have a page. I really hate the FB overlords.
