Do. Not. Want.

*actually freaks out*

If livejournal actually does this and turns my flist into a tumblr feed, I'll...I don't even know. Freak out and cry for a day?

For all its many problems, livejournal has been my fandom home for years. And as a deep-down grumbly old person, I strongly dislike tumblr and the way tumblr functions. A big part of that is my flist. And my fandom life is so focused around livejournal, I don't know what I'll do. D:

(They might be getting rid of comment threads. I need to go breathe into a paper bag for an hour. *cries*)

ETA: I was so upset about this, I made a tumblr. I think I underestimated how much I would dislike how the tumblr feed works. At some point I'll summon back the energy to go back and poke at things. :/

ETA2: Aaaaaand...they might be getting rid of paid accounts? Which isn't a problem for me but I know some of you like your icons.

This is SUCH SKULL-SPRAINING IDIOCY. I can't figure out how they think they'll benefit from this.

I'm guessing they want to grab the success of those facebooks and those tumblrs. But a) lighting in a bottle and b) they should just focus on what THEY do best instead! :(

I'm just madly hoping that more people come over here! It's so much nicer here, where the development team communicates!
