O. Well, I finally just created a bookmarks folder for everything. Stuff to read leater, stuff to rec later, stuff to comment on later. Okay, and when rl gets too busy I never get around to revisit them and delete everything unseen, but normally the system works.
G. Ah, the friends feature, neverending source of Angst. I don't know if it would be this emotionally laden if it was called diffently. It's a really unfortunate choice of word.
When I got my journal new, I was just happily friending and unfriending whatever crossed my path. Some journals, five times or so. Then I found out that's it apparently A Huge Thing. But now I'm more or less back to treating it like like a better bookmarks folder, and it's quite freeing.
I mean, I just don't want to read journals when I'm not interested in the content, it's not personal so why all the Angst. I have a handful of people who I talk to quite a bit, and I'd probably be upset if one of them unfriended, and I'd send a tear-filled email of, "Was it something I wrote?" But otherwise, nah.
E. I don't like the thought of filtering myself, but I can understand if those with the over-100 flists are doing it. Also, I don't even know how to do a filter.
S. Locked posts, no problem. What annoys me are locked journals. Okay, I totally get why people would lock their journals, but this "Comment if you want to be added"? I don't know if I want to read their journal if I can't read their journal. I did that just once. Commented, got added, journal had nothing of interest for me. Haven't done it since.
I never use the rich text thing, because then I forget how to do the codes. Hey, after a few years of posting on lj, I finally don't have to look up my a href's and img src's any more :). It's like when I had a digital watch... I swear, I almost de-learned reading the traditional one. I had to stare at it for a few seconds and wonder which finger was pointing where. So, no digital watches and rich text editors for me ;) (Oh, but I use the editor for colours, because I'm also lazy.)
