Final straw

[vilakins]

Once again LJ shoots itself in the foot with its ghastly new friends page. You can see it in all its hideousness if you click on "switch to the new one" in the pale blue bar at the top; you can switch right back, and I expect you will. If that goes live as is without allowing opt-out or customisation, I will not be reading anyone on LJ. Unless, as kerravonsen says, someone can rec a good RSS feed reader that's pleasant to look at and maybe even customisable? This latest utter crap is a deal-breaker.

Depending on who stays on the sinking ship, I may have to move my comms or hand them over to someone else.

I've added everyone I know about on DW to my subscription lists and hope they'll be posting or crossposting there. If you're there and I'm not subscribed, let me know.

*nods* I'm not much journaling any longer, but if LJ's new friends page is Infinite Scrolling, I'm SURE I'll never look at my flist again because that sort of thing freezes/crashes me a LOT of the time.

Also, I've read a rumor that LJ is planning to eliminate ALL Paid accounts this spring. I have no confirmation, but it sounds like a logical progression. If all are free, then all will be loaded with ads and probably they'll eliminate Scrapbook, because that's a paid feature (they already borked it fairly thoroughly.)

I dunno what they'll do with Permanent accounts- whether they'll be grandfathered in & keep current attributes or what. Shall wait and see.

I've abandoned crapbook and am going to try Picasa. It'll be annoying though if all my pics on old entries disappear.

I'm not posting very often because I'm not in an active fandom and I don't have anything much to say about my life, sucky and boriong as it is.

I've already had pics disappear from the crapbook so even if they don't eliminate it, it's proven unreliable.

I've gone over to just reading/writing Avengers/Iron Man fic on AO3 and pretty much only interacting with whoever comments. My life is pretty much too dull for words.
