LJ STRIKE!!! wtfomg! found the damn bandana. wHERE IS MY WORD TRUTH LAZER!?!?!
heyo.
Going on strike soon. For those of you who aren't aware, there is a strike going on from 8PM tonight until the same time Friday EST. A livejournal strike.
Basicly livejournal is under new management (this is not the first time it's been shuffled from one leadership to another. Word is it's the fourth time such a change has occured.) and the management wants to not alow any new free non-ad sponsored accounts.
Not a big deal to me personally, as they aren't talking about forcing changes on the accounts that are presently active. Namely mine. And yours.
Why I personally am involved is this big old spin around that the new management (hereafter refered to as "THE MAN") did some wacky things with the interests, making sure that they weren't ranked according to popularity.
Some of the things I am hearing they bumped down in popularity include "bisexuality," and "depression."
Let some depressed people have their community without trying to hide it, I say!
Oh yeah, and "fanfic" was one of them too. When will they learn how powerful and scary the fanfic community on lj really is?
Everytime I've gotten involved with some bs lj is doing it's always been a fanfic writer that brought it to my attention.
anyway, m03m posted a handy timetable to find out where in your part of the world the strike is occuring. Have fun with your time off LJ!
