i've already done an lj-flee: nipplegate2006 (http://ljabuse.blogspot.com/2006_06_04_ljabuse_archive.html). me and all my friends packed up, gave lj the finger, and went, mostly, to gj. and then half of us left gj and went to vox. and them some of those went to ij. some came back to lj, like me, with a different user name. the people who had supported me and co-miserated with me all through my pregnancy and birth and the fucked-up-insano-acid-trip that is being a new mom were scattered. friendships that had lasted half a decade just disappeared.
and of course, lj didn't care that we left. because they suck. and we all know they suck, and they started sucking way before the strikehtorugh.
fandom is organizing better. this, in part, is because every member of fandom organizing doesn't have a kid on their tit, and having a kid on yr tit seriously effects the amount of shit you can get done. i've been reading fandom_flies and links posted in that community, and it sounds like maybe there's enough energy. people and money to create a space where there isn't such a kneejerk reaction to anything that could be construed as quetionable and might therefore cost the farm. i support the efforts.
lj doesn't like us. and when i say us, i'm taking about a group of poeple that extends beyond fandom. i'm talking about anybody who won't just take no for an answer and leave it at that. those who experience life outside of the slim margin the dominant culture deems normal and want to share their thoughts about it. those who get hackles-up, and rightly so, when their freedom is wrangled and threatened. lj fucking hates us. lots and lots of businesses, systems and individuals hate us.
so i say, fuck you, lj. i hate you right back. i hate you so much that when you say plz don't put yr pr0n up here imma say what as that? didn't quite hear, and then bombard you with my filthy smutty fanfic. and maybe pictures too. just to tick you off.
and i will do it until you shut me down. and i hope there are lots of people who will stay here and do it until they shut us down. because, yeah, they could realistically do just that. but it'd be way more trouble, way more of a pr nightmare, way more expensive for lj/6a to have to shut down thousands of journal than to have to deal with the straglers after a mass leaving out.
i don't know. i didn't think i had so much to say.
