Livejournal - Deleting accounts + communities

[naanima]

Yes, Livejournal has been deleting communities and accounts.

liviapenn - Check your interests; we are being targeted. This is very informative and provides an overarching picture of what's going on.

I have gone through several hours of paranoia (I blame hormones, I friend-locked my whole el-jay, only to unlock it when the crazy left) but have gotten well over it. I'm not blaming Livejournal, I really can't when it is hammered into me on a regular basis that legal entities must avoid lawsuits at all costs. No matter how much Livejournal wants to paint themselves as friendly and open, and all about freedom of speech, they are a business; profit is the most important factor, and they cannot afford any form of bad media attention.

Honestly, the whole issue is really rather simple (on a personal el-jay level) - be smart about what you post, use common sense, and REMOVE all interests that can get you into deep shit. In fact, remove ALL of your interests. The only thing on my interest at the moment is - freedom of speech.

Irony amuses me.

ETA: A petition to Six Apart - hit them were it is important (MONEY).
- Organizing a push back
- "a petition of paid livejournal users (buying customers) who would cancel their accounts if Six Apart didn't approach this issue with more sensitivity".

Fandom is being all sorts of awesome lately.

Oh yeah, of course it isn't a matter of life or death, but I guess what I'm seeing is just that they give themselves the right to do that, so it's always a question of whether you have faith in the management or not.

Heh, indeed.

You know what? I think this is getting to me way more than I thought it was (damn you denial, couldn't you have lasted a bit longer?). Presently, I seem to have little trust for the management of 6A, this makes me kind of angry because I gave them my trust.

Damn it.
