@VindicaSean Livejournal/forums/gaiaonline 4 me, plus AIM personal chats, worked great! My worse problem was people godmoding in fights and peeke getting upset about their ships being disrupted.

@Screvvy This was legendary cringe before social media had gotten past LiveJournal and just reading the story took hours. It needs to be required reading for every zoomer who has no problem throwing around the term "kin."

speaking of failcons, the Boycott Kunicon livejournal is still around https://t.co/cU9s3la9vZ
guaranteed to be a parade of broken links and deleted accounts, but there's still some data there to be mined from the distant past of 2005

I appreciate the effort shown @CareyCallsBS

@aquariusbutch so it ends up being appropriated from the original context and thrown around in places it doesn't belong
and then the ppl who created it (in this case, actual radical feminists to talk about a problem in their own livejournal communities) have no way to talk about the specific

take it down, and not always politely. I was on livejournal at the time, and there was one community for meta discussion and that was about it. Then a bunch of us went and created another community where fic was allowed in locked posts. From there it snowballed.

@postpostpostr There are multiple threads. The roots come out of 80s and 90s academia, then you had active scenes on Something Awful and Livejournal in the 00s that developed the cultural dynamics and memes, then that stuff recombined on Twitter and accelerated after the crash of 2008.

@ScepticalAussie @NotDevinsMom This is very common, for example, I remember seeing on LiveJournal a post by a beloved Roman Catholic friend saying she had just voted for Barack Obama and should Catholics do that, because of the ******** issue? She did not know. I did not say anything, but it was revealing. 😳

It was bought out by Russian interests and even now is very popular with the Russian people. It's US popularity faded as people became dumber. But... here's the thing. There was a flap a few years ago... Livejournal 'cracked down' on LGBTQ cheerleading (somehow.)...

I just need to remember where I wrote this dream down at? Was it LiveJournal, was it when I was blogging at Blogger. Hmmm. Hopefully I'll find it. - Maybe I should have created my twitter account as a record holder for writings based off of my dream time experiences.

@proshipconfess Also for context, a lot of the efforts to shut down fan fiction. net and livejournal were pioneered and driven by ‘white mothers’ who viewed these platforms as evil (although I’m sure older fandom people will know more about what actually went down).

it was an effy/emily (skins) fic that was posted on livejournal, if i’m not mistaken, back in 2009. by the time i heard of it the author had sadly already taken it down, but PDFs of it were being p***ed around quietly and i managed to get my hands on a copy of one

@darkfetishhydra tagging doesn't fix that. the fanfics used to groom me were tagged plenty well on livejournal. i knew what it was when i got exposed to it, but i was exposed to it by an adult, and other adults made it, and other adults liked it, so i thought it was fine.
kids mimic adults.
