oceana_: Grrr. Argh. - We all know that all the sites that everyone is so excited about moving to will have and implement the same policies LJ is implementing now. There is no sign that they will be any clearer on what exactly is against their policy. -
- liz_marcs: Here Are My Thots...Let Me Show You Them - Here's my actual problem with 6A/LJ://Bad customer service.//No, seriously. There it is. -
- gmth: In which I show that one is never to old to be a starry-eyed optimist from time to time - At the same time, I do kind of regret it because it turns out the comm is an RP type of thing (there was no way for newbies like me to know this before it was pointed out, since the userinfo is absolutely blank) and from what I understand you are also on -
- trollprincess: Oh, LJ, you so crazy. - We want to know. Anyone who's not a complete troll would like to follow the goddamn rules. There's just one small problem -- YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHAT THEY ARE. -
- shusu: LJ: an actual slice of opinion - So, as a customer of LJ, here is my problem with all this. -
- kaethe: Thoughts on protecting the porn - The prevailing fandom opinion seems to be in support of artwork that condones a 40 year old man sucking off a fifteen year old boy. -
- karamarie_mckay: untitled - General Perceptions, and How Manipulation Works -
- justhuman: Fandom: Locked Communities - Lockdown is not necessarily a solution to everything, but many communities are opting for it. If you're running a community that you plan on locking down, here are some facts you might find useful... -
- telesilla: It's not that I WANT to leave - So this isn't about fucking "kiddie porn," people. It's about some LJ employee or maybe even a volunteer with unknown credentials[...]looking at a picture and saying "I think it's trash." -
- madsciencechick: Strikethrough 2007 Fallout: Part II - The issue is that LJ is a providing a service to us on the condition that they can cease to do so at any time, for any reason, with no justification or notification whatsoever. That's just how it is. Those are, in fact, the terms of service. -
- pyrop: LiveJournal is shrinking. In new faux-academic style! - LiveJournal is shrinking, at least in terms of active accounts. The number of active accounts reached its peak in April of 2005, and has been decreasing ever since then. Let's take a look at the graphs. -
- rivkat: Not done yet, apparently - So we're supposed to desire them -- bluntly, we're supposed to fantasize about fucking them -- but we're not supposted to say that. And we're not supposed to share our fantasies, because that would be sick. -
- cryptoxin: In defense of burr86 - I'm not particularly invested in defending LJ. I can't argue that they've been a paragon of corporate communication throughout all of this. Then again, I wouldn't argue that fandom-in-general has consistently excelled at communicating back to LJ effective -
- coffeeandink: Brief notes on Boldthrough '07 (notes towards an open letter to LJ) - The basic argument seems to be that, although the art is defensible under U.S. law, LJ should self-police to prevent the law from stepping in. -
- wilderthan: Musing: Strikethrough/Boldout - My thoughts on... - They are no one thing. They are people who are unhappy at what has happened and that is all there is to it. They do not all like chan, they do not all like ponderosa121 or elaboration, they're not even all from fandom. They are just people who want to be -
- penknife: On friends-locking, risk reduction, and shame - LJ can ban the kind of stories I write, and they can make this a space that's so hostile to adult content that I think fandom would be better off moving. But LJ can't make me ashamed of what I write or what I read, or of wanting a space that's friendly to -
- everagaby: Because a simple life update just isn't my style. - First, and most important, I feel the need to state that implementation of the Miller Test in order to prevent or at least limit the creation and public distribution of exploitative works, specifically child pornography, is a noble idea. -
- laurashapiro: IBARW/The Kids Are All Right: Youth Media - In my own curating for the vidding genre, I am doing everything I can to ensure that characters of color are onscreen, that artists of color are heard, and that vidders of color are showcased. -
- bad_goth: IBARW: Because I like linking to things. - There's a tendency that geeks have, when questioned on something racist, to say that they can't be racist. [...] Because they're oppressed - because the rest of the world thinks they're nerdy for liking comic books, or anime, or roleplaying, etc. -
- lone_gunfreak: (re-working of an old rant, to post on m - I'm just so baffled by the majority of responses I've seen, because it seems like people are way more into the idea of being "OMG oppressed!!!" than they are in actually doing anything. -
- savemoony: Obligatory Fandom Post - If you haven't witnessed your f-list explode in outraged[...] then you missed¦ a familiar tell of tragedy and betrayal thats been played out on the same stages, by the same actors, more times than the Royal Shakespeare Company has performed Hamlet. -
- elle_torrence: [in fan_essays] Literary Merit for Dummies - While itâ™s true that any piece of writing (and art as well, but weâ™re sticking to literature alone in this essay; donâ™t want it to be too challenging for the Dummies) can be defended as having literary merit, it seems clear that some people might re -
