Some thoughts about LJ and IJ

[louiselux]

It's not really a shock that a director of a large corporation is opinionated and hardheaded. Still, it's pretty depressing when they're also arrogant and insulting and really somewhat scary. Now I want to particpate in the content strike simply because I find him offensive. Anton Nosik, director of the blogging side of SUP, speaks about the planned strike.

The theme of Insane Journal makes me cringe. Also, the site design and motifs are ugly beyond the telling. I do not want to move there. Also, wouldn't it just evenutally have all the same problems and dramas as livejournal, except with less choice? I don't really know anything about the infrastructure of IJ, but the theme and the look of it suggests to me that it's not ready to cope with a mass migration. But! Something needs to be done.

Anyway, scribblemoose is far more upbeat and positive about this than I am. *hearts scribblemoose*

No, but I joined scribblit's LJ comm and I've been sort of vaguely watching their progress. They're in the final stages of beta testing and I think they plan to open it up to free accounts soonish. People who donated (or maybe bought permanent accounts?) are already using it, as well as the beta testers. There was another one too...yaoijounal maybe? And then there was that other one that I actually got an account at and, um, now have completely forgotten the name of. Oh, my mind.

Aha you icon!!! They look like fabulous spooky people. Joo should write a story about them.

Oh, I hope scribblit comes soon. This shenanigans is just too stressful.
