All of the feelings
Dec. 22nd, 2011 01:54 amI've been jumping between a lot of emotions in the time I've been awake today. It's the 21st of December, so I should have the Solstice on my mind, but instead? LJ.
As near as I can tell from the publicly available information, the massive changes to the default comment display in R88 were not because backend demands required change, nor because looking at task abandonment rates were saying something scary (though I'd certainly be interested to know if either of those were the case; maybe that would make some of this headache go away -- though to be fair, the headache's been off and on since after getting sick last week) -- but because the new head of LJ didn't like the way the comments looked.
( Cut out of courtesy for those who need to avoid these discussions. )
I already changed my default icon on LJ after NaNo was over, so that's taken care of. I turned off autocrosspost when the new cache settings were shitting the bed and people were getting pages as displayed for other people. I set up the feed for my journal, so people over there will still be able to pick up the public entries if they care to. I don't know how much I'll crosspost after this. I've started to edit my old entries. There are a lot of them. I divested myself of maintainership in a few communities, left a few, and have started to remove friends.
I wish I could get everyone I care about out of there, but I figure at this point pretty much everyone who wants to come out either has left or is coming now.
