I wish I could quit you.

I HATE HATE HATE LJ!

I would leave but I'm totally invested. I have way too many friends on here to go; I've already lost a couple of friends to LJ's recent stupidity, and unfortunately I don't really want to create an IJ and either have duplicate posts or make different ones. And you've pretty much guaranteed that some of the more interesting people here will look for a new, non-oppressive home.

LJ, you aren't the same blog as the one I committed to and damn it, it's a change for the worse.

There has been a lot more censorship as of late, as well as implementation of other more stringent rules/regulations -- and they seem to go about it in an underhanded, indirect way. I understand their drive to improve their "business model", but I'm not happy about some of it, nor about the way they've gone about it. And what frustrates me most is having some friends leave LJ (or in one case, actually being banned because of her explicit artwork)! The focus is different than it used to be. =( I'm beginning to regret having bought a permanent account, even though I know I wouldn't have left even had I not had a permanent account. http://firefox.org/news/articles/1293/1/Livejournal-Officially-Jumps-the-Shark/Page1.html http://news.livejournal.com/106909.html
