Spreading the signal for fellow LJ users.

I've apparently been IP blocked, I'm only able to post now via a proxy server.

Livejournal is apparently "cracking down" on anyone who posts slash fic on this site, so BEWARE! I've been blocked from accessing the site, posting, ANYTHING. Simply because there is "gay content" in my journal.

If you post anything slashy, please spread the word & let others know that the Russian homophobia has spread to LJ. It's sad & pathetic, but that's apparently the case.


C/P from a separate entry:

Please spread this message to your friends list, your non-LJ contacts
who might be thinking of coming here, everyone you know. Hell, tell
your next-door neighbor & your dog. LIVEJOURNAL IS IP BLOCKING
JOURNALS THAT FEATURE GAY CONTENT.

For the last few months, I've had trouble logging into my journal. I
worked around it with prozies, but apparently even that is at the
point of barely working any more. I have been blocked from access to
my friends page, inbox, communities, everything. I've sent numerous
reports to the so-called "support" team -- & gotten nothing but
crickets.

As of last night around 7 pm Eastern time, I was completely cut off
from LJ access. I've been informed (albeit rather politely, I'll grant
you that) of my journal's "gay content" being "investigated."

This is heinous, repulsive, & reprehensible in every way. I have done
NOTHING WRONG to cause me to be IP blocked. My fanfiction does not
harm anyone -- no one is forced to read it who doesn't want to. Yet
apparently the "Russian overlords" consider any kind of gay content in
a journal to be grounds for "investigation."

*****

I think most of us knew this day was coming, but it still sucks in ways I cannot even begin to articulate.  If you have any amount of gay content on your LJ, whether it's one fic or one thousand, please take steps to back-up your content if you have yet to do so, be it through Dreamwidth or Ao3 (I have a couple of invites if anyone needs one) or wherever best suits your needs.

Can you bung me a dreamwidth invite, please?

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Preferably two. :)

I took a look to see if I had codes, and DW atm doesn't need codes to make a new account. Hop on over here and create away! (And let me know what your DW username is. :D)

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Spiffy. Will get onto it ASAP.

Ta, love.

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Here I am http://charlie-cochrane.dreamwidth.org/

Any idea how to crosspost automatically between the two?

[misslj-author.livejournal.com]

Coolies, added you over there. This faq is pretty good on that, but DW has to be the primary post and it crossposts wherever you set it to do so.

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Thanks, toots. All done!

[misslj-author.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I think I'll be posting from there more now, too. I need to get into the habit.

Here's the latest: http://copperbadge.livejournal.com/3660525.html?thread=83279853#t83279853 and here: http://angstytimelord.livejournal.com/962353.html?thread=2224945#t2224945

I think that should help ease the worries. Turns out it has to do with her ISP and not slash

But I think we should all back up our journals. I use Dreamwidth and cross-post to LJ.

Great minds think alike--I just posted the links. Thanks again for those, I appreciate it. :)
