How can I make the friendspage shorter?

[valis2]

We're all so chatty now that HBP has shown up. I have to do something about it; it's skip 120 every day, where it used to be skip 60. So I've been thinking...how can I trim it? Well, defriending is the first thought. Except, I love my flist, and it's at a really good place right now, and I'd hate to cull anyone. Seriously. I have lots of fun artists, writers, and interesting people on the list. So then I started thinking...communities.

Honestly, if I see one more post on that essay comm or...is it hogwarts_grads or something...that sounds like...

Hi I just read all the books and I'm new here. I got a pony for my fifth birthday. I think that Snape is an animaegus. Isn't that guy who played Lupin in the Prisoner of Azkhaban movie great? I need lots of friends, friend me!

...I will go absolutely starkers.

So I think some community trimming is in order. I'll have to miss some essays, but they're usually rec'd by the newsletters anyway, so no big deal.

In other news, I had no net access for most of the day; my cable modem was laughing at me. It was annoying. Very glad it's back up, though, so I can finish figuring out everything I need to ship eBay-wise.

Filters. I'd filter those comms you tend to get those posts on. That way you could just read them when you're up to it. I have a filter for "regular" friends and one for everything I have under "communities".

I haven't investigated filters yet. I think that in my mind, if I'm skipping, I shouldn't have them on the flist at all. Hence my defriending of communities that don't interest me as much anymore. I thought I'd miss them, but I have too many people here to miss them. ;)

I really like your policy of not having those you skip on the flist at all. It makes me happy thinking at least someone's reading my LJ, even though I'm paying more attention to yours than my own these days.

The meme that's going around right now that has something to do with who is reading whom is kind of interesting. People that I thought were using filters are saying that they're not. I forget that not everybody is a comment spaz like myself. ;)
