Content Strike

[sillygoosegirl]

ONE DAY CONTENT STRIKE - Friday, March 21st (note: this actually begins on Thursday, the 20th in the US)

For 24 hours, we will not post or comment to LJ. Not in our own journals, not in communities. Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock.

This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics: a permanent reminder of the power of the userbase.

This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do.

This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users and the concept of adfree space.

This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content.

The 24-hour strike will begin at the following times for the following locations:
