What are people doing in the aftermath?

[norwich36]

So, my friends, what are you doing in the aftermath of the Great LJ Strikethrough of 2007? I'm a little torn, myself. My faith in LJ has been shaken enough that I'm probably not going to buy a permanent account, but other than that...I'm just not sure. In addition to my greatestjournal account, due to the persuasions of bop_radar and huzzlewhat I now have accounts at multiply and insanejournal, respectively, though multiply seems a little too...myspaceish or something, to me, so I doubt I'll actually be doing anything over there, and may actually delete that account. (I'm norwich36 everywhere).

What is everyone else doing?


[Poll #995160]

Oh, and here are a couple funny links related to the great strikethrough: I absolutely adore this person's profile, revised to clarify that she doesn't necessarily condone all her interests. And this is a funny (and image-heavy) link to some of the creativity that came out of the fan protests.

And join fandom_counts, if you haven't already. Over 30,000 fans in less than two days! And seperis encourages community owners to add "fandomcommscount" to your comm interests, so we can get a count of fandom communities too.

I have a permanent account

And GreatestJournal has ad's too, right? So they'd be just as likely to bow to pressure from groups contacting advertiser's. And at least you can avoid seeing the ad's on LJ if you choose

Sorry for leaving the "already have a permanent account" option off the poll--I forgot about that group.

And I think you're right that the problem with migrating elsewhere is that any commercial provider is going to be subject to the same pressure LJ is.
