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

mmsword
sethanikeem

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

Yeah, when LJ added this feature, they turned on "safe search" as default for every single journal. You have to turn it back to "no filtering".

[solarbird]

Not just "safe search." You also have to set the setting above that ("Collapse adult-oriented material written by other users:") to "Do not collapse."

[harlkyn.livejournal.com]

Oops, yeah...that too :) Thanks :)

Really? I thought one had to turn it on. Click the flag-a-ma-jig. Perhaps it's different for different LJ styles? I think I got a note to that effect. I didn't turn anything on or off & I'm not on her coal for Christmas list there... So she's either not reading my el j, or it's on for me which I don't think it is or I'd have heard about it especially after I bitched in my own El J about this new deal or one must take action to enact it.

Curious.

I just checked. Mine was not automatically borked by El J. (thanks for the settings link solarbird :-)

Your journal doesn't have the 'unsafe for minors' cuts all over it.

Good! I fully intend to corrupt anyone I can get my lewd little pixels on!
