Boycott? Really?

LJ provides me a service. I would never have paid for it on my own, but when some nice friend gave me a year of paid time, I kinda liked the new features. I like keeping up with online friends and communities with similar interests. I like having one place to go to catch up on things, and friends whose posts are a nice mix of real life and writing/fandom/fiction. Maybe other places would offer that (I just got offered a free journal at journalfen, and I know some folks who have moved to wordpress blogs), but I am disinclined to put a lot of effort and time into finding that "better place." Unless someone like antennapedia tells me about a viable alternative, or asks me to help test it, I doubt I'll be trying anything new anytime soon.

So, I have to say I pretty much agree with liz marcs on this one. I, too, noticed that Good Friday might be a slower day anyway, or could reasonably be blamed for a dip in traffic. And I'm not that up in arms about most of LJ's transgressions here. Better communication is always good, but they do seem to have taken the reasonable criticisms to heart already. And some of the criticisms seem to be a little on the unreasonable side. Some of the references to nationality leave a bad taste in my mouth, as well.

So, I may post Friday; I may not. It'll have nothing to do with Truth, Justice, or the American Way. And I'll wish all those moving on good luck and hope you keep in touch.

That's all I had to say, really. Life's too short for this kind of thing. I prefer to pick my battles.
