On the whole LJ strike thing blah blah blah...

If it isn't obvious by now that they'll do what they want regardless of the opinions of the current user base, then you haven't really been paying attention.

Also, we're apparently not exactly loved by our new russian overlords anyway (I'll cough up a link later--right now I want to finish this post so I can post about Foot instead. That, and I'm sure you'll see it elsewhere on your flists before I can find my own link anyway, so...), so the whole boycott thing won't impress them anyway. Their attitude? 'Yay! Less freeloaders with weird interests=more paid users and businesses'.

And they would be correct in thinking that. We may leave, but there will always be people willing to pay for a service that others think should be free and/or uncensored.

In short, the boycott on Friday may make the users feel better and give us a sense of 'fuck you, dude!'...but. It won't really do much. Even if we managed to leave a smoking crater in our wake--they'd fill it with what they really wanted.

Anyhow...yeah.
