I am catching up on the LJ flist, and I'm getting sadder and sadder.

I knew already that the HP fandom would be endangered by the end of the series, but now it's fragmented as well, and I'm really having trouble wrapping my head around having multiple journals. I'm a control freak, as you all know, and I hate the idea of cross-posting, but I also hate the idea of not cross-posting, and I hate the idea of having one main journal, and I hate the idea of having journal-specific entries, and I just feel like I'm watching my internet journaling experience take a nose dive.

Also, I find the idea that HP's parent corporations are going to put the smackdown on slash very chilling. (I can't remember where I read the entry now, damnit.)

*glooms about*

ETA: Oh, and this bit about everyone defriending LJ people so they don't have to read multiple entries? Understandable, but... *glooms even more*

*grins* That's happened to me before. In fact, IJ seems to really like logging me out quite a bit.

*hugs* I really hope that this gets cleared up at some point, but I'm not holding my breath. And there are friends on LJ for whom this is not even an issue, so I'm divided completely now, forevah, it seems.

The weird thing is, it could wind up being everyone's issue--or not an issue at all, anymore. It kind of depends on who decides to harass which LJ users. All kind of wait and see.

I think if people want to have an easier-to-read flist, they should use a reading filter rather than defriending.

I agree with the use of filters instead of defriending. Also, what if someone forgot to crosspost and you miss a post because they forgot?

I am checking lj with frightening frequency, but IJ every few days. There's not as much activity over there as continues to be over here.

(I love the anonymous reply. It was aptly spooky.)
