Further ramblings of a self-made pauper

For those of you as may be interested – perhaps pax_draconis is one of them – there is an alternative to Live Journal over at http://www.insanejournal.com/ which uses the same open source software as Live Journal, but which does not operate the same alleged censoring policies that seem to have upset a number of people.

I have cut and pasted some of the blurb from their home page here:

• InsaneJournal is a simple yet very customizable online diary. It is built on open source software from Danga Interactive.
• InsaneJournal allows you to keep in touch with all of your friends. You can create public accounts, called asylums, that allow many people to post about a common subject.
• Joining InsaneJournal is absolutely free, but highly privileged with an upgraded account.
• The InsaneJournal community is very tight-knit and very accepting of all people, it doesn't matter what you look like, what you listen to, or how old you are
• At InsaneJournal we believe in freedom of expression. We will not censor content unless it obviously violates United States law and we receive an official takedown notice. We no not self-police the site.
• Yes we are fanfic friendly. We believe works of fiction are just that. And unless such work infringes on a copyright that does not fall under "fair use" we believe you have the right to post that content.

I am still quite happy here on LJ, but if anyone is suitably stressed out by the possibility that their musings will be important or incisive enough to invite censorship, try Insane Journal.

We can always set you up as a feed to our friends page.
