holdouttrout: not your ordinary fish (Default)
I have gone back and flocked quite a few more personal posts, including the ones about religion and fat acceptance and pretty much all my "what I did on my weekend" posts. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable about the sheer amount of information available about my life, even though I've been pretty careful about *what* I say. I'll be locking that kind of thing from here on out, so if you've been lurking and want to keep reading it, let me know.

Also, my flist is getting a bit large. I haven't decided to cut back yet, but it's possible I will. I know I'll be cutting some comms off the list, at least.

As always, feel free to defriend me if you're tired of my rambling.

Doooood, don't boot meeee!

But yes, I understand. I've been flocking a lot more of my posts lately too.

You are not going anywhere. *clings*

Most people aren't, really. There might be ten at the most I can bear to part with.

But that will be all lonely for me, since I'm not actually on your f-list. Though I completely understand about not wanting to friend random people without knowing who they are and what they thing and whatnot. :)

Well, we took care of that. :-) I didn't know you weren't friended. Mostly it's a "my reading list" sort of thing.

Noted. *grins*

Besides, who would I snuggle with if I defriended you?

Nice try. *grins*

Mostly, I think I'm cutting people who don't read me, and cutting lots of comms. Hopefully I'll be able to scroll a little less now.

It'd be sort of nice to know who filters you out, you know? I think the whole friending think is so loaded that even when you give people permission to defriend if they wish, they simply don't do it. Either because they still feel like it will be offensive, or because they simply aren't reading your LJ to know.

It's so true! I usually end up "reading" my whole flist, but with all the comm chatter, and people who are not really in my fandom space anymore...it's kinda bulky.

I'm also really reluctant to defriend people, even if I don't really read them. And there are some people I read but don't comment on.

So. It's complicated. :-)

Oh come on, I just got here, don't make me pack up and leave. :)

All this flocking is making me wonder if I'm doing it wrong, with not doing hugely personal information posts.

ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
I didn't do personal posts until I met a whole bunch of people at DCon. It was sort of a natural progression. But there are people I met who still don't do personal posts. So no, you're not doing it wrong.

And you're not going anywhere.

I'm hoping I won't be cut--I know I'm not taking up your reading time, since I almost never post anything (I keep intending to write something about Don Davis, and about Continuum, but you can see how swiftly I'm doing that!) Really, I just got lj so I could read the folks who interest me (of which you are one) without feeling weird about commenting as "anonymous".

You're still into Stargate, right? I've no problem reading someone's personal posts, if they want me to know about their life, (or not, if they want to keep that private, but I'm mostly in lj for the SG1, and RDA--which comprises the fun entertainment in my life, for the past 3 years.

No worries. I should do another post, I think to reassure everyone! I just wanted to flock things because I realized just how much was out there without any sort of lock, and it was freaking me out. And the defriending thing....well, it was more of a "just in case you read my journal even though you don't have me friended back" thing.

I'm DEFINITELY still into Stargate. I think there's lots to still talk about, and fic to write.

Noooooooooo! *clings*

(And I'm feeling the urge to flock personal stuff at the moment, too. In my case, it's randomized paranoia due to things on other people's LJs making me aware of how public this place really is.)

ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
Same here. Random paranoia.

I haven't cut anyone who has me friended back, and pretty much definitely won't. I cut comms I never read instead. ;-)

Date: 2008-08-10 12:51 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] rdamel.livejournal.com
I just skimmed back thru your recent lj entries and was relieved to see you are still enjoying SG1--and writing enjoyable Jack/Sam fanfic--more, please?!

(I tend to read a lot of lj's, so I'm not always totally sure who is into or out of what bits of fandom--I'm just glad you are still in my favorite fandom!)

I saw the twitter post (get them by text for you) and wondered what was up.

I went Friends only for the same sort of reason. Memes and PSAs and such are one thing, but just having my rants and raves and other stuff hanging out there...no.

I keep thinking about trimming, but I never get around to it. I think I think I'll miss something if I do. Then again...I'm sure I miss stuff because I can't keep up sometimes.

I have been missing some things because of the volume. I cut some comms, and some people who I don't know why I have them friended because they are in other fandoms and because they don't have me friended back.

Nothing really happened to me personally for the flocking, but there were some reminders about how public a place the internet is.

Date: 2008-08-11 03:58 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] majorsamfan.livejournal.com
I keep meaning to do this:
Filter Friends Page: Filter your friends list according to specific subgroups.

so if I've been away or have a period of limited access, I can filter to read just my closest friends or something.

Date: 2008-08-11 04:03 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] holdouttrout.livejournal.com
ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
Yeah. And I supposedly have filters, but...I don't use them. *sighs*

(I understand what you're saying, though. I went back and flocked some more of my posts last night, too.)

I've gone to mostly flocking post because I'm paranoid.

I also use filters so comms do not overwhelm my flist, but sometimes I forget to add people to the correct filters and get unfriended by accident. lol.

ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
Hee. It happens, and I think people usually know that.

I'm getting more paranoid the more things I put out there. :-)

Hey, I happen to love your rambling. :)

I can understand about the housekeeping of your journal. Mine needs it desperately and I've been trying to do that for some time now, but well... *sigh* I will one of these. I swear! :D

ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
Hee! It's so hard to suck it up and do it, because it seems really mean and unfair. But usually, I think, there are places to cut that won't affect the people who really want to stay around.

Date: 2008-08-10 04:13 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] sg1danny.livejournal.com
Wanna continue to hang around. You are on my flist not sure if I'm on yours. But, I enjoy the banter and stuff, so wanna continue to hang around.

Because I am going more friends-only, I am adding you. :-)

Thanks for speaking up--I knew you were around, but I didn't know that I didn't have you friended back.

I'm tired, but it has nothing to do with your entertaining rambles! Hee.

I've been thinking about this, too, except then I think there'd be nothing public on my journal but fic. *ponders*

ext_2131: picture of a fish with lots of green (Default)
I went back through my journal, and before I went to D*Con, there's very little I locked. Fic, fic, meta, fic...and then afterward, it's "BOOM! Here's my life!"

I like reading what you have to say, personal and otherwise. Though, I'm not on your flist, and don't comment all that much, and you probably have no idea who I am, so I can understand you not wanting me to read what goes on in your head and personal life.

I have added you. I do know who you are, at least in the "I've seen your around" sort of way.

Thanks for letting me know!
