nerakroseHi all - it's time for a flist cleanup. I will be revoking access from and removing from my reading page people who haven't updated their journals in a year or more. I will not be revoking access just because we haven't commented on each other's journals ever or in a while; I'm absolutely shit at that kind of maintanence and don't comment often, and likewise I don't expect comments on my posts. I do read all posts (with few exceptions: if I've been travelling or very busy and haven't had time to keep up) and as far as I'm concerned lurking is fine. What I'm not comfortable with is empty journals having access to mine - who are you??
the other thing is, I will also be revoking access from and removing from my reading page journals that exclusively or almost exclusively post about Harry Potter fandom. I'm sorry folks, but it's time. I don't want to see this stuff on my reading page anymore. I'm glad for your sakes that you are still able to find enjoyment in this fandom, but for me that train has left the station, the city, and the bloody country. HP fandom posts have become for me a constant reminder that an author I once looked up to has become so radicalised that she's turned into the most vile of people, somebody who is actively supporting hate groups and campaigns against people like me and my loved ones (queer, trans, disabled). I just cannot with any JKR-related and HP-related stuff anymore, so it goes. on the off chance that there are people here who don't know the full extent of JKRs bigotry, here's is write up at glamour.com (last updated april 2023), and a write up at vox.com (last updated march 2023). Add to that she's funded anti-independence campaigns as well (I'm very pro-Scottish independence.)
If anybody else wants to take this opportunity to also revoke my access and/or remove me from their reading page, please do feel free, and no hard feelings, no explanation required.
