I wouldn't like being forced to view ads while logged in at LJ, but I could learn to cope -- and probably wind up getting around to seeing whether there's a version of Adblock for Opera. My two big problems here are 1) that other people, whose opinions of ads or use of Adblock I have no way of knowing, would see ads on my journal, and 2) I don't want to support LJ until SUP demonstrates that they have adopted a fair and user-oriented operating philosophy and policies -- and providing them with the eyeball-bait advertisers need is supporting them.
Believe me, I understand wanting to stay put, especially if a critical mass of your friends are staying. It's one of the reasons I kept finding excuses not to do this, until it got to this point. It's what kept me here right after Strikethrough, when I really should have left according to principle.
I'm hoping that DreamWidth will find a way to make it possible to keep track of everybody on other sites without having five logins and five browser tabs open to do so -- we're close to that now with RSS and OpenID, but not quite.
