"..When the law, by means of its necessary agent, force, imposes upon men a regulation of labor, a method or a subject of education, a religious faith or creed -- ...; It substitutes the will of the legislator for their own wills; the initiative of the legislator for their own initiatives. When this happens, the people no longer need to discuss, to compare, to plan ahead; the law does all this for them. Intelligence becomes a useless prop for the people; they cease to be men; they lose their personality, their liberty, their property."

The great unfriending, part deux

A while back, I asked a question. Given that it has been almost 5 months since my last entry, I think I've decided on my answer.

I still check into /. every week or so, since some people refused to make the switch (or it didn't stick - Railgunner, I'm looking at you!). Which means my messages really stack up between visits. So, following the lead of Sam, I am doing a second culling of my friends list.

Like the first unfriending, way back when...
Some are cut 'cuz it appears they have abandoned the dot (understandable..).
Some are cut 'cuz they have 100% made the multiply jump. (this is a new category, obviously).
Some are cut 'cuz I just never read their journals.

In any case, it's not an indication of like/dislike, and is nothing personal. Unless you want it to be. I that case, I dropped you 'cuz you're a douche. :-D

    Hey - that's an Ozzy song!

      OK, substitute any righteous artist for X, but that is the first time I have seen the \m/ X rules \m/ to represent "rock on!". Maybe this shows how uncool I am, but that is just awesome.

    • And if you reverse it, a Phil Collins song.

      Bah! It seems that I have used too much of the friend/foe system resource, and need to try again later.

      Must be /.
      Its always the same its just a shame thats all. :-|

        Haha. So there is still anxiety to be had as to whether we will be victims of The Cut? :) And here I was being smug.
  • Multiply really offers me nothing compelling to make the switch.

    Not that slashdot is doing anything to keep me, but it just doesn't seem worth the effort.
    • Slashdot has 2 things that keep me here rather than on Multiply:

      1. It *DOESN'T* have insertable media, such as images, music, etc. That's my biggest peeve is comment sites that have that. Makes it take forever to load when going through a proxy.

      2. It's n
  • I'm still in both places, but more likely to post journals here and comments over at multiply.

    There certainly is more going on over at multiply. Most of my friends list made the jump.

    I do miss the old dot. Slashdot seems to lend itself to more in-depth dis
    • If by "more in-depth discussions and longer comment threads." you mean flamewars and bashing/piling on, then I agree. :-D

      And W T F is up with the "you have used too much of this resource" BS?

        Where did you see that? And when will you unfriend us at Multiply, too? :)
        • It seems that there is a limit to the number of relationship changes you can make on /. in a given period of time. I think it's around 25-30 a day/[number of hours]. But I wasn't keeping count.

            I actually find Multiply to be more of the guilty pleasure, as there's a lot more gossiping and silliness in every entry.
            And yes, I've unfriended people there before. I've even blocked a few, either because they constantly spew hat

              Sort of the point, right there.

              We have different opinions RE: /. v. multiply.
              I fully respect your right to be wrong. :-P
