LJ Acting Up

[eumelia]

Most of you know about the whole Basic account and Interests Fiasco.

I too will be striking on the 21st of March and maybe actually do something worth while to celebrate Purim and the Equinox.

For details on the strike check out beckyzoole's information posts: First and Second.

Do join in, as consumers we do have a say.
And as bloggers it is our responsibility to do so.

Here's the actual notice which I also urge you to spread:

ONE DAY CONTENT STRIKE

For one day, Friday, March 21, make no posts. Make no comments. Let there be NO new content added to LJ.

SUP obviously does not realize that Basic users have given something of value to them, that it is content that drives the site.

So, for one 24-hour period, from midnight
GMT to midnight GMT, let's see how many people we can get to pledge to contribute NO CONTENT.

This will create a permanent downward spike in the daily-posts statistics, a permanent reminder of the power of the userbase.

Full information at The Fox's Den.

SPREAD THE WORD!

Equinox? It's Purim! You should be out drinking. Or at least, carousing. Eating hamantashen? In a very very secular way?

Oh there will be carousing and dressing up not to worry and much talking about Esther and how she was the Bomb!

But it's not every year that a Chag falls on a natural occurrence (other than the Moon, of course :)

Thank you for supporting this!

Could you translate the announcement into Hebrew, and post in Israeli communities on LiveJournal?
