So a bunch of us are planning on leaving, or on boycotting LJ on Friday. Good for you. But I plan on continuing as normal. Why ( Read more... )

i can see what you mean. But we're trying to get the word out to change the policy a bit. I don't hate 'lj'. I hate how it's being run. Just like you do.
I like the idea of flooding them with calls and emails. I also like the idea some people have been ignoring, and telling your flist about all this. i had no idea this was going on at all until two days ago when someone posted late, that it was 'happening again'. People should pass the message on! Surely this is something that even people who don't have the interests of 'bisexuality' or 'depression' or 'faeries' can understand?
But they don't get told.

And sitting it out for a day isn't going to change policy at all.

Yes, I'm going to tell my flist about this once I get the contact information. And that needs to be spread around more than anything.

Well it seems the maintainers of this community aren't even adhering to their precious strike, as they are incredibly active on Livejournal right now (locking posts, locking comments, etc).

The strike wasn't the idea of this community, ergo I don't think any member of the comm, including the mods, are forced to be held to it.

Why they'd be locking things, though, is beyond me.

No, I just think it's funny that they preached so hard about this strike, and yet while they're supposedly in "full strike mode", they're still driving traffic to the website.

anyways you seem like a pretty rad person, especially since you like Pokemon and Pokemon is awesome. I'm pretty sad because my swarm today was Nosepass! :(

Huh. According to the front page, this comm has only one mod. You'd think a huge, active comm like this would have at least three.

Heck, I needed a second mod for my comm (ironically a Pokemon comm, rocket100), and we have like 30 members and maybe a post a week.

Nosepass can be cool. I mean, it evolves into MARIO (or so the internet has taught me. Come on, the 'stache? The red hat?)

My favorite is Vileplume. I need an icon of it. I had one until a few hours ago, when I discovered that the guy who made it is a total douche. So here, have Morally Wrong Torchic instead.
