Have discovered frienditto.

I'm slowly throwing my all past posts into friends-lock; they will be up if and when frienditto is down.

[edit]



what is this, you ask? Click on the link to find out. (It's CREEPY.)

Why, yes, I'm hot-linking.

Please, feel free to hot-link too.

Idea taken from lierdumoa. Crash their servers with me?

[edit2] tanacawyr rocks in so many ways, and explains things so well. This is one of these things.

[edit3] elke_tanzer explains, via quoting their Terms Of Service contract why frienditto is soooooo incredibly shady.

Also? please hot-link. Really, I'll **love** seeing that picture over and over again...

I like subbes brings up a good point. It's the internet-- view source and print screen CAN be used instead. This just saves trouble.

Don't want stuff published, don't put it on the internet.

Wow, delete that *like from there. Totally too tired to be typing.

Well, let me rephrase that.

Don't post anything you're not wanting anyone else to know?

View source and print screen can save things to local desktop computers. Putting those files on the internet involves a bit more work (only a bit) and can be far more traceable than the anonymity offered by frienditto.

The frienditto folks are making a big deal of their whole additute of... how can I paraphrase what I've seen of them today? Something like this: we'll archive your stuff and once it's in our archive you can't do anything about it without giving us your real name and contact information and there's nothing you can do about it because we're oh so cool and blase and your right to your own writing doesn't mean anything because it's our internet and you're nothing. That, combined with the trolling behaviour I've seen many of their supporters doing today makes me pretty inclined to believe that they're just shitstirring asshats out for a quick laugh at the expense of the rest of us and our sense of community.

I could be wrong. But I doubt it at this point.

Also? Because something is on the internet does not make it public domain. How many times does that little fallacy have to be brought up? No, never mind... *sigh*

I notice your journal has a large friends-only banner on it. I suppose given your statement here that you don't expect any of the 241 journals you have friended to respect your friendslock? That's kind of strange.
