January 7, 2009 - Livejournal Crisis
The thing about the LJ firings is that they fired all the engineers, I kind of don't like that part. I guess they're using the support staff in Russia to maintain the site in the meantime so maybe it's not completely over. If they fired Chris from LJ Abuse though that would be cool.
I liked Sup, they were helpful in dealing with some stalker problems I had once when SixApart did pretty much nothing about it. The one problem I did have with Sup is that I wasn't allowed to use the specific names of people in public posts describing the awful shit they did, which is weird when you're talking about people who are trying to become known in a public arena. Art criticism is protected speech as far as I'm concerned, you should be able to say out loud when the stuff people make is stupid. When you see a mugging and you scream "that guy just mugged an old lady!" it shouldn't be censored as libel or whatever. That guy just mugged an old lady! Everyone should throw forks at him! Maybe that would be different on another blogging service. Someday we can all throw forks at the bad guy, maybe we should organize this by email.
If Livejournal dies you can still find me over at MySpace or Friendster or Wordpress or Blogger or Facebook or Vox or Insanejournal or Tumblr or Tribe or Twitter if you likes. I diversified awhile ago but Livejournal still had all the people so I hung around.
Get back metal children!
Anyway, I'm not done with Livejournal yet. I have problems with people I met on this site but still I'm not done with it. Not to be starting any cold wars or anything but hopefully someone appropriate in Russia will be told what happens when you take my blanky away, and we'll be able to keep our nice playground for awhile.
