ceagleMany of ya may have heard, but the next phase of poison LJ is trying on us is the re-working of the Friends Aggregating Page... I know they say you can toggle it, for now, but I'm reluctant to even try that..
If they truly kill LJ some day, I guess I'll be trying that Dreamwidth site.. and hopefully people will go there, otherwise I'll have a whoooooooole lot more time on my hands in life...
In recent years the battering upon LJ by its own coders and management has done this to my readership:
2010 = 11,000 views
2011 = 8,000 views
2012 = 5,500 views
I'm sure the genius VPs are trying to say Facebook and Twitter are the real reason for their losses, and perhaps a bit... but personally I (and many others who comment in the News section) are pretty sure it's the dissing of their own participants here.. by Not Listening.
For now, I'm gonna stick to reading the Friends Page the way it works as long as I can...

Date: 2012-10-31 12:43 pm (UTC)I tried out the new Friends Page look last night and browsed through it for a bit. But then I switched it back to my old settings as I liked my original setup from before.
I read the comments/feedback to the latest news release announcement. It looks like the majority of the LJ fans (who are still left in this place) disliked the new Friends Page layout with a passion.
I hope LJ listens to its user base and stop mucking around with configurations and settings that the users do not want.
It's sad to see that frequent, regular LJ users are a dying breed. The majority of my friends' list no longer posts regular updates. Everyone has moved onto other social networking sites and mediums. Eeek!
