Those Damn Buttons

[poliphilo]

Numbers of my friends seem to be abandoning LJ- upping sticks and moving elsewhere. For many it seems those damn buttons that link us to Facebook and Twitter were the final straw. Silly old LJ, for doing that!  I mean, did they consult with anyone beforehand? Me, I've always been careful never to put anything here that I wouldn't be happy to see published with my name attached, so you can link me to Facebook as much as you like, and I won't care. Not that any of you would.

I'm sad about what's happening, but I've got a lot invested here, I like the company- what's left of it- and I'm not moving.

A few of my friends grumbled but so far nobody has actually gone away and I hope it stays that way. I trust the people here enough not to click a button if they're commenting on a friends locked post of mine here (most are). I have many years invested here as well and am staying. I rather like it here and the people are the thing, not LJ policy.

I'm glad you're staying.
