Leave it to slashy fangirls to lay on a little silly innuendo and provide better terms to service you.

;-)

My curiosity was based on some folks’ saying they could not be friends with a conservative. It’s unclear to me where a left libertarian fits — fiscally conservative, socially liberal. Various people I know , some in my family, have a major disconnect with that level of conservatism. And I think it’s fairly clear that it’s enough to make one a second class citizen (at best) in the feminist blogosphere (more evidence of the movement’s self destructiveness).

Anyway, glad that doesn’t seem to be what you were saying.

I’m thinking that these three might be reason enough for you to consider Dreamwidth over LJ.

# A member can now select “other” or “unspecified” instead of “male” or “female” for their gender if they wish to, promoting inclusion of the queer community.
# LiveJournal’s wishy-washy terms “adult concepts” and “graphic adult material” have been ditched in favour of “NSFW” (short for “Not Safe For Work”) and “18+” to be clearer about what they are and what they do.
# Other people can no longer flag up your content for review under for being adult material – your content, you’re in control.

My sense is that Dreamwidth is really looking to cater to fandom, but that may just reflect the people who I read on LJ. ;-) They’re also friendly with people involved in the Organization for Transformative Works, which is a good sign, to me, that they have users’ best interests in mind.

There’s some side-by-side comparison of policies here.

Look! Look! Practical applications for fandom! :-)

And I must say, I agree completely WRT guys telling you you are “angry” (which in my experience can mean anything from “not smiling, OMG!” to “smarter than me and not afraid to show it”) as well as media marketing and branding shit.

Out of curiosity, re “I don’t trust people who don’t share certain beliefs” — what beliefs are those?
