Boldly going on with Strikethrough

[salinea]

Am I the only one to find the whole burr87 sub-set of the whole Boldthrough kerfuffle deeply hilarious? I mean, for one, efw itself is obviously a nasty-funny, Fandom_Wank-like community that's rather hilarious and the mocking - while insensitive, misrepresenting & unprofessionnal - isn't extremely off the mark. And srlsly I seem to remember than during Part 1 of this LJ wank Fandom was the one insisting that burr87 came back to be a spokesperson. Maybe that's why he hates us. Maybe he really didn't like this job. XDDD


For something completely different, there's a fascinating post from metafandom full of graphs about how LiveJournal is shrinking.


Oh, lastly, I made myself a JournalFen account and I should transfer my fanfics overthere. It's not perfect in terms of managements but I think that right now it's the one Journal I can actually trust a little bit not to go witchhunting happy.

Ultimately, I might keep on this journal for personnal life purpose but I'll probably put all fandom content somewhere else.

ETA : alighiera has just posted about the LJ Boldthrough story being on big German newspaper Der Spielgel. Woaw O_O;;

Do you think the Secret Service would threaten people for things that LJ would TOS you for, though? Part of the issue with the child pron thing has been that LJ has no clue about what's really considered child pornography or even obscenity. I don't think it's a real threat to the president if I say something like, "though I am a pacifist and non-violent, I wish I could inflict some measure of the pain and suffering Bush has caused other people on his physical person." Is it?

Uh oh.
