Yeah. I know my comments probably mean bupkiss but it felt good to write it anyway. Nothing wrong with a suggestion, right?

It's worse than a Nanny State. That's been going on, too, since way before Strikethrough (or Boldthrough, or whatever you want to call it, depending on your preferences) but the thing is, the latest rule changes not only have them policing us, but also have us policing each other.

"Report this", "flag that", "submit this or that for review", censor yourself for "under-14 content", censor yourself for "under-18 content", censor yourself for "adult themes", censor yourself for "offensive content", or risk being censored by LJ against your will.

And what is offensive content? Anything that offends anyone, I suppose? Let troll season begin on LJ - as soon as those rules were published I was out of there. And if they come into effect on IJ (it's actually special code included in the latest LJ code update, and I don't think you can remove content flagging, cutting and reporting from the software that runs these sites and leave any other updates intact, can you?) I'll be out of here, too. Even if that's tomorrow morning. I almost feel like I'm running from censors in Communist China, but whatever. I have backup plans for my backup plans at this point.

I know free speech is at the whim of any private site owner, but LJ was created with freedom to express yourself as one of their core principles. It was at the very foundation of why LJ existed, and what it existed for. So my shock and disappointment at LJ are something along the lines of...eternal. I don't think I'll ever get over it.
