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.

Yep, I'm with you.

I might post anonymously, but it wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to find out who I am, so...

I think it's all a bit over hysterical. You're at risk being on the electoral register. You're at risk, full stop. The chances of being targeted in LJ or Facebook's are about the same as being mugged, etc. while walking down the street to the shops.

Just minimise the risks, and stay aware!!

To be honest I don't really understand what all the fuss is about. I acknowledge that a lot of people are upset and angry- and I respect those feelings- but I don't share them.
