Goodbye, LJ

urocyonOK, this is the last straw. I am no longer going to continue crossposting to LJ, and am planning to migrate completely to DW and delete my LJ account.
As if what they'd already been getting up to lately were not annoying enough, it now seems that the folks running LJ are OK with ableist bullying by staff--thanks tolauredhel for bringing this to my attention! More info: http://rydra-wong.dreamwidth.org/252974.html
Yeah, I'd been considering doing it for a while, but I think it's time to go enjoy my autism well away from LJ.
For those of you on LJ, I'll still be around at http://urocyon.dreamwidth.org.
Edit: I am not totally deleting the account for the moment, after all, since I am still interested in a few LJ communities which won't import.
Further edit: Former aside about the locked post incident and possible sockpuppetry removed, in the interest of fairness. My brain is scrambled by noise and I don't know WTH is going on. ;)

I can't find the mention of that staffer in connection to the d*n* business--wouldn't be surprised if it were just rudeness from him then--and may have been conflating with the more recent sockpuppetry.

Date: 2010-09-22 05:41 pm (UTC)I'm starting to not feel safe on LJ myself... it's bad enough that little cliques of people occasionally gang up on their friends list to have a good troll session, but this is way out of order.
It shouldn't surprise me though; the number of times I've complained that a user was cyber-bullying me on a community or something, and their response has basically been "Yes? And?"
Their loss if everybody comes over here.
