Because I'm your fan

lolaraincoatI set myself up at Greatestjournal a few years ago when LJ was down for a few days. Now at least the fannish half of my f'list here seems to be migrating in that direction, or in many directions really, because LJ has been banning users whose content they don't like (depictions of fictional characters who appear to be under 18 having sex.)
I'm undecided about what to do - stay here but read journals on three or four other sites? move most of my posting over there but keep reading journals here? something else entirely? There's a fan-run not-for-profit journaling site currently in beta-testing, so that will be a good option soon but not yet. But I don't want to lose track of you while I dither. So! If I have you friended here, and you have set yourself up at Greatestjournal, and I haven't yet friended you there, it's because I haven't found you. Please ping me and let me know your username there. And if you're migrating to some other journal but not Greatestjournal, please let me know that as well. I don't want to lose track of you all!

Date: 2007-08-05 12:19 am (UTC)I haven't done much blogging this year. My little LJ is just sitting there gathering dust and I can't cope with checking too many different friendslists, so I have no plans to move.
But let me know if you do. I have one friend who has a MySpace blog and another is on a Yahoo service, I think, or Gmail or something. Haven't looked at Greatest Journal. But I have the vague sense that most ISPs have pretty much the same TOU--which is to say, they will allow anything at all, up until the day someone complains, and then they ban whatever subcategory they have randomly decided is Bad that day. It's all random and driven by PR and perceptions, and none of it makes much sense. But then, the flaming and bad behavior don't make much sense either. But somehow amongst all of that, the Interwebs seem still to provide plenty of room for unpopular ideas and bad fanfic.
If Net Neutrality goes under, that will be another kettle of fish entirely.

And yes you are right about how the TOSes work for all these journal/blog/whatever type businesses. I hold out some hope for the not-for-profit, fan-owned and fan-operated ones. It will all be very interesting at least.
