Heading out to case the promise land

I think what annoys me most about this latest LJ fuckery is how it makes me retract my earlier claim that I was mostly happy with how things were going. Damn you, LJ, for making me look stupid!

That obviously isn't the thing that annoys me most, but I'm sure everyone else on your flist has already vented enough to make anything I'd say redundant. I'm laurificus on dreamwidth; everything I post on LJ is posted there too.

At this point, I'd be only too happy to give LJ up entirely. Of course, it's not that simple, because we've all built relationships and communities over here, and that's probably what LJ is counting on, but right now, I'm hoping we can build those same communities somewhere else. The outages I can deal with, just as I can accept fucking up accidentally. But entirely disregarding what a huge swath of the customer base wants and needs is a whole other thing. I guess we'll see if they roll it back, but I'm not holding my breath.

This post brought to you by irritation and yuletide procrastination. It's even money as to which was the greater motivation. (I don't know why my sentences are rhyming, no. I don't approve of it either.)
