Filters

[danohu]

Following a conversation with lavendersparkle yesterday, I've decided to start using more filters.


I don't currently use many filters at all. There are a couple for semi-confidential work-related things, and one to separate the Russian livejournals from the ones belonging to people I actually know. I also have a filter for frivolous memes, which consists of friends who post that kind of thing themselves.

I'm mainly adding an angst-filter so that I can post grumpy things without worrying about looking like I'm angling for hugs, and to prod me into moving more things across from my private diary.


So, there will be an angst filter. Who wants in?

[Poll #724434]

Also, has anybody come up with a way to make posts public, without having them appear on my friends' friendspages? It seems silly to inflict things like Cambridge event announcements on friends in America, but at the same time there are lj-less friends who I'd like to be able to see them.

The Entry is backdated tickybox will remove entries from all friends pages as a handy side effect (they are still visible through your journal).

like who's gonna vote no to angst? this is lj ffs!

angst is fine with me . . .

You could put Cambridge event announcements behind an LJ cut so even if it appears on an American friend's freinds page it's just one line rather than half a page.

Have you considered recording your angst and selling it on iTunes? It seems to be quite popular :-).

Not offhand. I'm collecting ideas for whatever system should replace lj should be able to do, something like that (essentially, ways of specifying who would like to see this post, as opposed to can, such as "These people want to read my posts tagged 'foo', btu anyone can") is definitely on the list.

Yes. I like reading angst. I don't get why anyone could complain about it.

I'm actively interested in how other people deal with angst. But otoh I don't *know* you, so judgement call..
