Public-ish announcement: Regarding LJ, GJ, IJ, la la la

[seventhe]

Right!

First and foremost, I'm not planning on leaving LJ. I'm way too much of a community whore to do so; I love you guys, I love the community aspect, I love the newsletter, and I am much too lazy to go do this again on another site just because. I'll only move if everyone else moves (or if LJ does something even more ridiculously stupid).

However, to be safe, I've claimed seventhe on both GreatestJournal and InsaneJournal. (Yes, I finally got there before there was another Seventhe! Tempted to move mostly for that reason.)

Anybody else who is on GJ or IJ, drop me your usernames so that I can friend you. <3

My thoughts: I mostly just wish LJ would publish a useful guide on what, exactly, counts as "offensive material". Because I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to draw or write underage/beastiality/rape/squicks/porn in general. Especially when we're depicting fictional characters here. So if LJ wants to come out against it, yeah, that's fine with me - their business, their loss! - just SAY IT, guys. Say it, and say it clearly. There's this great invention called the English Fucking Language.


I'm pretty sure it won't matter in the end. It's a natural law (can it be Sev's Law?) that People Are Lazy and thus I think the whole kerfluffle isn't going to do crap because we're all too lazy to stand up. Call me cynical.

This post will be kept public so that I can make new friends!

Friended on IJ (which is my backup of my personal journal and is ugly and I don't care if it's ugly) and GJ (which is all fic. Eventually I am getting my own damn website). Same name as on here.

And that's really what got me. Was the sort of buried rules and general we are a big corporation that owns your soul attitude. I kind of just decided to say, "hell no, you do not own my soul, and fuck you."

I also know that very few people are going to do more than bitch about it. I kind of did the same thing with DeviantArt (that and my camera broke). Sadly, I moved over to here. XD But I have Picasa now (as it is a fact that Google DOES own my soul and I gladly give it to them, I like their business practices).

Though, I'm probably going to keep up here a little just to write my daily To Do List. I'm a sick sad person like that. I can't wait until my paid time runs out, then I can feel better about myself.

Yes, 'fuck the system' is written into my family's genetic code. I have no idea why, it just is.

I am attempting very hard to not be lazy with my life now, so this is all the more incentive to go and not be lazy and start you know, talking about more than just work. Like what I actually think. XD Even under f-lock I was finding myself censoring myself and well, hell with that. Anyone that cares enough shouldn't be offended by me.

That's about the way of it for me. I don't post much more than sheepishness anyway, so I'm likely in no danger of being booted... but I snagged Kenderlyn on both IJ and GJ just in case, since I made the name up, and I'm not sharing! nya nya nya!

the rosencrantz on GJ is not me, just so you know. the enkida there is. I don't ever plan on loggin' in or checking it though, so you're warned. ;)

Very well put. I think my opinion is pretty much the same as yours...I'm angsting about what is right and what isn't but I'm now almost too burnt out with it all. Fail. I don't want to leave either of my LJs and I'll be seriously devastated if I have to so I'm trying to remain positive with it all.
