Question!

I heard from the grapevine (Twitter) that LJ is IP blocking journals with gay content. I looked for links, but couldn't find anything. Rumor? Or truth? Anyone got the word?

Is that why all the spam comments I get are for weird Russian youtube 'documentaries?' Huh. Learn something new every day.

Yeah LJ is big in the old country.

[avocado_love]

That makes sense. The more I've looked into it, though, the more it seems to be speculation. I guess we'll find out as the Olympics draws nearer...

Probably rumour. I think it's just one person, and LJ has never 'blocked the IP' before - they just close your account if they deem the content contravenes the ToS.

I'd think it must be just a rumor, too. I've visited a number of LJs owned by gay men, and my own LJ tends in the same direction, and everything looks fine to me.

[avocado_love]

Yeah I think you're right. That's what I get for believing whatever I read on the internets.

Haha happens to the best of us!
