(no subject)

Not going to go on at length about the recent shenanigans with LJ. You can probably see thoughts analogous to mine on the matter in any of a kajillion posts that've gone up recently, or any of the comments (which must be approaching 20,000 in total by now) put up on the various news and release posts related to r88. Some of the comments on the latter actually are mine, as are the three feedback submissions, one technical support request, and one suggestion submission that have been sent in to LJ.

I'm just going to contribute two things if there's anyone on my flist that hasn't seen them:
This post regarding what igrick thinks of all of us English-speaking users (because we're all Americans, of course)
and this one about why everyone's complaining the new layout gives them headaches.

That said, I'm leaving. Not as much because of the changes themselves as because of LJ's handling of them and its position as the end a downward spiral regarding its treatment of its users. Any continued presence I have on LJ is going to be for the benefit of RPs I'm in that don't move; my personal journal, as little as it gets used, will be moving over to Dreamwidth. I'm matthias_wave there, too, so anyone else hopping over there, feel free to add me! All the old stuff here's getting imported over there if there's anything you can't bear to lose for some reason (not that I'm deleting this; it's not as if anyone else is likely to want this journal name).

... That's more length than I'd planned on, but oh well. Thanks for putting up with me, friends! Hope to see you again later!
