What a Fucking Shower of Bloody Tossers!
Aug. 3rd, 2007 10:19 pmWell, yes, you all heard it, LJ has done it again. This time going after fanartists for no obvious reason, again targetting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pornish_pixies. Again, the same old deletion-without-warning they *promised* would never happen again, again on the sly, this time very obviously targetting fandom (which they *also* once promised they wouldn't do again...). Damn. If I were more jaded, I wouldn't be so disappointed now. Should've listened to the warning voices, and to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fluffyllama and trobadora at Sectus, who saw something like this coming!
I'm a patient woman, but this time, enough is enough. I cancelled my permanent account and told LJ they won't make money off me again, and unlike this entire crap reverses to a pre-persecution position (not that I'm counting it, with advertise dollars at stake), I stand by it.
If you want to let LJ know that they suck, there'snews
Some excellent links on backing up LJs and Comms byelke_tanzer (is there a step-by-step how to for the clueless?).
And a *very* intriguing and timely development towards the creation of a fan-owned site already at the beta testing stage bytwocorpses. Which will hopefully happily merge with initiatives discussed by atrata and ponderosa121. Just the hope for this makes is a little shiny beacon in a sea of fail.
As during the last crisis, the moment, I'm still over at GJ, also as kennahijja. Am trying to keep up with friendings and hunting down LJ friends, but bear with me - I've no regular net access. For all discussion of this, with polls and info and more to come,atrata created fandom_flies.
While I'd like to stay and fight on the one hand, I also see the temptation that is moving to a different site - if 'fandom' can decide on one where we're all together again, that is. If the majority of friends leave, I'll go wherever they go ;).
Honestly, this week has left me in turns tired, disappointed, bitter and now almost too exhausted to feel the fury this deserves. Off home now. Back to the LJ disaster zone tomorrow night ;(.
