Okay, so I'm making this post primarily because of the apparent "boycott" (not writing in your stupid blog for a day is not a boycott, you mongs) but not so much I think what they're doing is silly, but because I can't seem to find an explanation of it outside of the occasional vague allusion to the cause; everyone is talking about whether or not they'll participate in it, and no one saying WHY it's happening. Way to lure in the people outside of the know, there. :P I've been able to gather it may have something to do with new accounts, like they'll only be sponsored (ad-driven) from now on. If that's the case, I don't see what the big deal is. People are getting indignant over new people not being able to create accounts like mine which are just a drain on space and bandwidth, and give zero revenue?

Well, the LJ culture seems to be that most people will wind up with multiple accounts, both for RP and other purposes.

You and me are two exceptions to this, but...

As I understand it, the thing that's pissing people off isn't the action but the way it's been announced (As in, it wasn't)

Ah. Heh. It still amuses me more than anything else. It's not like LJ is the only interlinked online journal service out there, nor anywhere near the best one. They could always leave en-masse to find a new place.

Which is never going to happen. A handful leave every time SUV (formally SA) pulled some shit like this, but nothing ever 'on mass'.

(Plus when they do they're not after 'better interlinked online journal service' they're after 'LJ without the corporate interest interference')
