Oh, SixApart, you're dumber than a bag of hammers.

Really you are.

(I'm aesc on GreatestJournal, by the way.)

I wish I could be of more use in helping with Fanarchive, but I have no coding, legal expertise, or money. Maybe I could use my amazing Make Everything Be The Way I Want It To Be powers. *sigh*

I'm stubbornly sticking to LJ, as much as I'm frothing-at-the-mouth angry about these issues right now. I feel that these problems will follow us anywhere, and if there is an exodus to GJ or IJ or JF or any of the other services, the freedom will only be temporary. I suppose I'm sticking around to fight.

That said, I am the_acrobat on GJ; I created the account mainly to keep up with friends if there *is* an exodus, and I might start using Semagic to post across lj-clones (word is you can do that) if enough people go. Which, I suppose, weakens my political position significantly. But this is my community they're messing with.

There's something depressingly Foucauldian about the situation with LJ, and what GJ/IJ/other LJ clones will eventually become. And, that said, that's mostly what my GJ account is for at the moment, though I'm sure any fannish diaspora will take people to various corners of the internets.

Which, I suppose, weakens my political position significantly. But this is my community they're messing with.

That's exactly it, and beyond what happened to the artists, is what makes me really mad. The whole strikethrough thing, while it vexed me as an issue of private-sphere censorship (and really, there's nothing you can do about a private company decreeing what you can/can't do in its space), really made me angry with the way it screwed around with my community and my friends. I don't take kindly to that sort of thing.
