Whoever is in charge of that outfit, is now shadowbanning all posts. No new LiveJournal posts can be made anymore (at least not from USA/North America, maybe still from Central Europe and China?), but this fact is hidden from its users. THEY will still see their own posts, but others can't see them. So the users still think they are posting normally, but in fact they're not.
This is done by cookies, browser tracking, etc.
It really sucks. I have been posting on LiveJournal since 2007 for heavens sake!
Now LiveJournal has turned into another Reddit. They are also fanatic about shadowbanning their users, encouraging them to waste their time by creating elaborate extended posts, but not letting other users see them.
Shadowbanning is just one of the many evil things that evil people get away with.
It really sucks, but usually evil cannot be defeated. Well, sometimes it can be, but less than half the time. It's like the difference between Hitler and Stalin. You just have to work around it.
True, some of the stuff I wrote could be seen as controversial, especially the Scientology exposes. But I didn't think a Russian company like LiveJournal would mind about that? After all, they have "shadowbanned" Scientology itself, causing it to quietly disappear from the Russian Federation without a peep from David Miscavige or the Scientology websites (such as they are).
Fortunately, I have kept all my old posts in text files. Maybe I'll repost them all here in a single big superpost?
That sucks man! shadowbanning shouldn;t be legal
