LJ seems to be getting sketchier and sketchier
x-posted: [info]one_man_riot; [info]queer_punks; [info]alternatrans


So...Livejournal has been bought by a Russian company called SUP that allegedly(?) has ties to former KGB people.

LJ has banned some interests by removing the ability to search them, including:
fags
faggots
fag hags ([info]girlfags)
girlfags ([info]girlfags)
transfags
*fag/s

Go here to see what else they've banned so far.. http://elfwreck.livejournal.com/228345.html?thread=2006265#t2006265



More LJ sketchiness: Advisory Board plans, rules, etc.
http://community.livejournal.com/lj_2008/2303.html

and more info about all this stuff, including backstory http://insomnia.livejournal.com/774132.html (apparently that dude worked for Livejournal)



i haven't even read all that stuff...but basically, LJ is getting more and more screwed-up. Remember that they started mining users' data? http://community.livejournal.com/lj_biz/242602.html



if you're thinkin of ditching Livejournal and wanna backup your stuff, here are a couple ways to do that http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/284083.html?format=light, http://fawx.com/software/ljarchive.

Definitely seems like LJ started going downhill after it was sold.




What do you all think about all this stuff?
