Oh, the drama.
May. 31st, 2007 09:23 pmI don't even dare looking at all the responses to the news posts at LJ any longer shoot me, I'm doing it, anyways in fear of major headaches that may very well result from this. Also, if I have to see one more "Never shall we die", I think I'm going to scream. It's killing me, honestly. I'm done with it, at least for the moment.
(To think that I actually missed half of all the drama... I don't even want to know what my state of mind would be, had I been at home and with internet access yesterday...)
I'm still kind of trying to figure out what has actually happened here and what opinion I have to this.
I mean, I can see where people are coming from. Being thrown into one big pot along with pedophiles and child molesters is not funny. That deleting mostly harmless LJs without warning is a clear no-no goes unsaid. (And wtf, due to all the panic kinky_twincest - biggest Good Charlotte Twincest Community on LJ - even got renamed into![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
maddens... *pouts* Damn, I liked the old name...)
Yet, I fear that a lot of people are getting worked up about this a bit too much. LJ has fucked up big time, yes, but I guess it's time for all of us to calm down a little. Thank goodness that they finally decided to actually respond to all of this (was about time!) and it seems they're already trying to fix this mess (in other words: restoring most of the deleted journals).
I definitely need a break from all of this now, that's why I'll be off now, trying to make some sense out of a very, very weird plotbunny. (Though I'm very, very curious about the outcome and long-term impact this whole desaster will have. Will there be even more trouble? Will there be a mass migration to alternatives like Greatestjournal?)
(One of the few nice things to see during the past two days: despite lots and lots and lots and lots of wank among LJ users because of different opinions, there was still an immense sense of unity among fandom which I'd love to see more often.)
ETA: Just a little thing to come back down to earth again and remember that LJ is NOT everything in life (though it makes quite a big part of it *winks*). Link kindly provided bylouphoenix who found this on ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
