Flocking and possible housekeeping

[holdouttrout]

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.

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. :-)
