I don't understand! Please fill me in. I know LJ/6A fucked up again, but is it THAT BAD?

Well, to some people it is very bad, and to some it isn't at all! I honestly haven't been able to keep on top of everything myself. But 6A is still sending warning letters to people in the HP fandom and threatening to delete them. Their new rules at least seem to indicate peeps will get that warning first, but the rules on what they find offensive/unacceptable are still a bit hazy at best ( ... )

Friended you over at IJ, hon. I'm just "Irrlicht" there. Just so you know. :) *hugs*

Have friended back! No immediate plans to move, but I figure it doesn't hurt to set up shop there. :)

I expect most of my non-fandom friends will be staying here! *builds bridge* Though I'm not packing up my stuff yet...heh.

Et tu Shriney?

*face in hands*

I'm really going to have to post my thoughts on this, because it's giving me a headache. *long sigh* *another long sigh*

I just cannot see following people all over hell's half acre unless I'm going to have serious, significant contact with them. I don't have enough time as it is, so am I supposed to keep three journals just to get 2 comments here and three there? *stomps feet and looks peevish*

One thing I am seriously considering though is a second, non-slash related journal where I could share gardening and architecture and other more RL topics. I would hardly use my real name, but it would be less in-the-closet than this one and, when my mother asks, I could send her to that one.

lol...sure, make me feel worse!!

Really it all gives me a headache as well, and RL is really preventing me from doing anything major about it at the moment. I just know that some of the big writers I admire are bailing on LJ, and some of the peeps moving are posting f-locked on IJ. So I set up an account there so I can read their stuff, and so if I *do* eventually move, my Shriney name will be there waiting for me.

I don't know if I *will* move, but I'm still wary that LJ will make the decision for me. There's also the whole principle of the thing...gah. Anyway, no need to name me Brutus yet. I'm still here for the time being, as much as I *am* here these days.

I hear ya on a mother-friendly LJ. I don't even send my family to my writing LJ. *sigh* Secret identities can be fun but also tiresome. Ack.

*whines* *chooses strange icon that fits mood*

Sorry, I don't mean to make you feel bad. And I will probably create a shell IJ and just use it to view locked posts. But I'm not posting in two places - my life is schitzophrenic enough as it is.

As for the 'principal of the thing', how do we know it won't come down in a 'new home' too? Here we are many and can stand and fight.

You send your family to your regular LJ?! Should I wave to them? *giggles* LOL!

I'm not sure, but I think some peeps have software that allows them to post in both at the same time? I haven't had the time/energy to explore any such options. Some peeps I see are already dual-posting and so they have two sets of comments to answer...that does seem like it could lead to confusion. Ack. I think if I were to post in both places I'd send all the comments to one site so I could keep them all together ( ... )

I friended you over at ij, where I'm still nutmeg3. I'm also nutmeg3 at greatest journal and journal fen, in case you head over to either place.

shrinetolust August 19 2007, 21:10:54 UTC
I think I got you on IJ. Journal fen seems to be a big destination too...I think I'm going to have to clone myself to keep up if everyone runs away...

I have no intention of leaving lj unless everyone I know leaves first. I just have the others to keep up with the (few so far, thank FSM) people who gone there for good/for the most part.
