I wasn't up to being pissed off at LJ for the deleting basic accounts creation or the most popular interests list shenanigans, but then I read this interview.

Judge by yourself.

Now if only we had a good, working alternative...

ETA: Sounds like the translation made the interview sound much more inflamatory than it really was in Russian (see [livejournal.com profile] furiosity post on the subject)

Hmmm.

ETA 2: [livejournal.com profile] cormallen on the cultural context of the interview.

The tone and contempt is simply outrageous if the translation is correct.

I've just created a IJ account (I'm etrangere there) although I don't know if I will use it since I still hate the colour scheme and find the theme a bit offensive :) but it's probably better than LJ at this point.

Yes, it's a real shocker. I suppose I should pass on that news to more people.

Right, I'll remember to add you there in case you do use it. I understand about the theme - it put me off a bit at first. I'm not sure if it's possible to change the layout. I think I heard something a while ago about alternative schemes, one of which is apparently 'work safe' (whatever that means, and I'm guessing that it makes the site logo banner looks more sedate) but I don't think I saved a link to the info.

apparently the translation may have make things seem worse... but I'm still unsure about what to think.
