Only the paranoid survive...
More and more, the entries on my f-list are f-locked; I need to log in as myself to see what is going on. Even I have been known to post entries f-locked to my "Dyskworlders" friends' group when I didn't want to spam everybody with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
discworld_rpg related stuff, or was being sentimental, or both.
But somehow, everybody has lately started doing that. I know about some people, but generally I wonder whether that is just something goiong around memtically, like a mental cold, or what people really are afraid of.
Also, there is that one point where the concept of "private tags" we're using at the Discworld RPG is superior to the actual f-locking: there, you can take not only whole posts, but also comments and even parts of comments private and hide them from all the other characters (while the muns read on all the more avidly). On actual LJ, I need to know somebody's email address and mail them.

I very, very rarely rant on LJ; for me it's a communicative medium, and I don't like to bare my paranoias to all and sundry. Especially as they tend to be gone by morning, and then I just feel plain silly for ever having entertained them. I sometimes do work-related rants, but those stay unlocked, as I really want everyone to see what utter idiots poor me has to work with...

That's kinda what it's turned into for me. When I started, I was hoping to be able to use it as an outlet for fic, but I've since lost my inspiration. Now, it changes from day to day what I use it as. Sometimes a serious journal, sometimes a place to ask questions, start conversations, sometime just a way to see if I can make people laugh!
