LJ tricks

[rivkat]

I don't know if it's connected to the deletions, but thamiris's journal showed up on my "manage friends" as gone -- no userinfo, no link. ETA: In comments, corbeaun reports that it was still visible, but by unfriending the journal and attempting to refriend she got the suspended/purged/deleted message.

Boy, do I not want to leave LJ. But it's looking likelier every day.

rivka, i'd be interested in knowing your take on what LJ is doing from a legal p.o.v., if legalities are relevant to your thinking of leaving. maybe you've already written about this, in which case never mind! but i'm sure your thinking is far more informed and better articulated than mine could be.

I just posted about some of this stuff. The law isn't the issue so much as LJ's implementation of its own policies. I understand LJ's position and its desire to overenforce rather than underenforce, but it's not responding to requests for clarification on fandom's time schedule, which is pretty much instantaneous these days. If LJ can get together a coherent corporate response and maintain fan-friendly policies, I'll be happy to stay. But if key friends start leaving for elsewhere, I'll lemming along.

ok, thank you for answering my question. i'll go read your new post.

i like LJ a lot and am distressed by all the anger and so on. my reactions to issues are usually primarily emotional, so i'm glad to see your more reasoned response.
