You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for anyone.

So, I have a few moments of spare time to read my friends list. And like almost every single post is a LJ-cut saying: "You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors." (Which, if you actually read the post; It is appropriate for minors. THE LJ-CUT IS A LIE!) But anyway, this makes having a 'friends page' — a single page where you can read everyone's stuff at once — completely useless. I can't just skip down the page, but have to click and open a hundred tabs, and there's no way I can feasibly do this on my cell phone. If I only have 15 minutes a day to read LJ, most of that time is now sunk into loading individual pages. I can't just click on one link, and then read the results, and then get back to my life.

I generally don't even have time to reply to comments in my own journal, let alone read other people's journals, and it's now ten times harder.

Skimming over my friends page, these are some of the journals with the filthy-lying-lj-cuts on every post — even the private locked ones:
gentle_gamer
feyandstrange
drewkitty
svashtar
elfwreck
mmsword
sethanikeem
gaelfling
unseelie
maikujaku
wyndhover
otter3
ishottheserif
elfs
gaelfling
kinkyturtle
emiofbrie
aaron_raccoon

UPDATE: I think that Livejournal has now reached the pinnacle of emo, in that it's now automatically cutting itself.

Yes.
Though some people are voluntarily tagging their own journals as "adult only". But that should only give you an "are you over 14" page before you actually sign in with your username and password.

I actually have not run across the "not safe for anyone" links that foxgrrl is talking about, as long as I'm signed in, but that may change as LJ sees fit.

Yeah. We have to protect the children from bad words and stuff, otherwise they might become corrupt, like we did when we were growing up. Oh noes!

But yeah, if you go to the settings and select "don't collapse" as an option, you shouldn't get the annoying unreadable posts.

Done. How do you say fuck in russian? Google's language tools are being unhelpful.

if you go to settings you can turn the 'filtering' off and not have to worry about this at all.

LJ has a new feature to make the world safer for children. the_lj_herald has been trying to keep up with the clarifications after the original post was made in lj_biz.

the_lj_herald is a good (unofficial) way to keep up with the latest LJ changes.
