thoughts of thinking

[catchmelike]

I am sort of confused by all of the options on dreamwidth (grant access, subscribe, whatever), and honestly that's always been one of my biggest problems with it. I treat my friends list as just that - a friends list; it's a list of people I enjoy being around and interacting with and want to be friends with. A "reading" list full of people who can follow me while not allowing me to follow them and vice versa feels way less personal to me, and I just don't like it.

Also not having a ton of icons. The thing that may keep me going back to Lj is that I DO have a permanent account, and while their attitude towards their user base frustrates and angers me ...I have 200+ icons, and I get all of the storage and features without having to constantly throw money at them. And I have thrown a lot of it. I had the money back then. I don't know if I have it in me to pour hundreds of dollars into another site that's really just a back up for me - a consolation prize so to speak. It doesn't feel the same. Maybe it eventually will but not just now.

I don't know. Just thinking thoughts or whatever.

Also can you install mood themes here? And how?

So many of my friends that I've been close to for years, and so many fandom communities I closely follow, are staying on LJ, so I don't anticipate making a blog switch. I use Tumblr/Twitter/FB more often than LJ anyway and lol yes, like you said, I like all mah icons.

Lj's the best for me. I kind of hate tumblr most of the time and I don't use fb at all. I have one but I rarely even think about it. I use twitter but I like being able to make long posts about whatever. I just am so discouraged with the treatment of their user base. I've been on Lj for 10 years, and it's changed so much. I feel like the current Lj leadership needs to take some serious customer service workshops.
