whenever I discover a new fandom and go nuts ...

Someone removes me as a friend on livejournal ...

Which is odd because I really didn't think there were that many people still hanging around livejournal anymore ...

I never get that lively on LJ, but I'm still here!

I've realised that ohnotheydidn't was drowning my friends feed and so I couldn't see posts from 'real' people, so I'm seeing if removing that from the feed makes things a bit better. glad you're still here!!

I'm still around!

I thought your posts about Mad Max was interesting, and reminded me of my mental note to go see it sometime

[koalathebear]

I think you'll like it! See it soon :)

New Fandom you don't care about are what scrolling was invented for.

(Though, in Mad Max's case, I just haven't watched it yet.)

:) I'm sure you'll like Mad Max. Lots of beautiful cinematography, man!pain, strong female characters and great music.

I don't think it's odd. I think it's just a case of how people expect their friends to use LJ - which is to say: not like tumblr.

[koalathebear]

I worded it poorly

If you're using LJ as a storage space/archive, then several options for not spamming your f-list are:

1. storing a bunch of links to tumblr in a single LJ post.
2. grouping them in two or three posts by topic.
3. check the box down the bottom of the post that says "Do not add to friends page and RSS".

I'd say the quietness of LJ means people are going to be less tolerant of someone they don't talk to very often coming in and spamming them with something they're not interested in. (Or if, like me, they are interested, chances are they're not interested in seeing such posts on LJ. I use LJ for discussion and meta and opinions that I don't want to go viral on me with people bitching me out for not having the 'correct' opinion.)

Sorry :(

And thanks for the tip!
