LiveJournal: important changes
Friends,
We are completing the outgoing year by serious changes aimed at supporting responsible authors of quality content and protecting against bots, spam and abuse.
Our community is the most important thing we have. To make the discussion space even better, useful and secure for everyone, we introduce some changes to the content publishing rules.
Starting from December 29, 2025, the ability to create new posts, comments and other content will be available to users who make a more significant contribution to the platform’s life. We believe that this will be a new stage in the development of our common space for thoughts and ideas.
What exactly is changing?
From December 29, 2025, users can post new public posts, leave comments, upload photos and videos, users can post at least one of the conditions: connected package " Professional "; the account is linked by the authorization of Sber ID; the value of social capital is not less than 500; the blog is registered in the register of bloggers of Roskomnadzor or has the status of verified.
ETA: Social Capital is shown for all personal journals and communities, which have opted into ratings on Privacy tab in Account Settings page and are Cryillic Services users.
--------
Social Capital is intended to identify how active and influential a user or community is. Each account's Social Capital is based on many different criteria, including the number of users who have added the journal or community to their Friends list, and various other activity throughout the site: how old and active the account is, do they leave comments in other journals and communities, how often do they log in, and many other factors that differentiate real users from bot accounts.
In a hypothetical scenario my Brother mentioned the other day; there's a starship with a bunch of people going to the nearest solar system, but it will take 500 years (it's hypothetical) to get there. So it is a generation ship, meaning it will take several generations of people to get there.
People talk about what movies/TV shows/books they would send along for those people, but are there any you would not send?
Such as: Are there seasons of a TV show you don't like & would not send? Or maybe give them the first couple installments of a movie franchise & not the rest?
Perfectly straight, white, dazzling teeth which everyone compliments you on, but, they require (avg.) five fillings per year because they are inherently brittle and decay easily
3(12.5%)
Reasonably straight (not pretty though) yellowed teeth which you are self conscious about [No-one calls you out on them though] which require NO trips to the dentist each year because they are solid, strong and decay-resistant
21(87.5%)
What da helllllll? They renamed 'radio buttons' and 'check boxes' to Single answer and Multiple choice ????
Would you rather have a great job with really good money, benefits (time off, insurance, Etc.), & a retirement plan, but have to stay in the city/state/country you live in now?
Or be able to movie to your dream location; city/state/country, but have a job that is just OK where you make enough money to live off of with some for splurges, and a few benefits?
