Why, LJ?

Why? Why why why why? Why take away the ONE THING that made you better than other community sites?

I. Don't. Get. It.

Edit: And you know the really SHITTY thing? They only made the announcement on a Russian language community, a couple of weeks ago. The latest news post, from 12/14, makes mention of "changes to comments coming soon!" with no details. It's like they knew they were going to have to sneak it by the user base. Feh.

The change: taking away subject lines from comments. Which is vital for users like fic memes. It makes them impossible to read or track. Disaster for fandom, and you all know I don't use that word lightly.

Son of edit: Looking to leave feedback? This seems to be the best place.

Seriously.

...at least the year is almost over and there isn't time for any more fail? Especially since the SOPA hearings have been pushed back to January.

Let's not even mention about the painful stupidity that is SOPA.... >_<

The past few months of fail have really changed my mind about the kinds of tools that I will use for content posting/archiving when participating in fandom activities.

Unless a tool is specifically designed for fandom (ff.net, AO3) or has a very large percentage of its users in fandom (DW), I'm no longer going to be so open to the tool. :/

Yeah. It's becoming more and more clear that this is the best policy.
