Hee - it does feel unfriendly - I think that's probably my problem with the DW movers. They move to DW, but then I have to be the "bad guy" and defriend them... *sighs*

I do like my flist - I think most people comment now and then - sometimes more then than now, but that's okay... sometimes we had a little flurry of commenting, and now we're over that excitement and quieter, and sometimes people seem to have stopped posting and I really should go and see what's happening, but then I don't mind if people sort of move away for a bit and then move back, so that's cool too...

I have a couple of people who are sort of lurkers - but I know them from other contexts than lj, and have chatted to them there, so that's okay... One person amuses me highly by checking my lj every day, but never ever commenting - and not even emailing me any more, except through proxies... But that's okay too, I know who she is! *g*

I do filtering a wee bit - friendsonly if it's a bit personal, "closer friends" if it's what I think of as quite personal... But I don't like mucking around with that too much either, cos... cos it feels unfriendly... *g*

Then again, I was wandering around sussing out the DW system yesterday, when all this came up, and although I liked the idea of it at first, I think having three different reading lists (sort of friends/readers/network (can't remember how that works though, cos it's not a place you can read, say ljs) would get old fast too... I like having people in one place, sort of like a big happy street... *g* My community. *vbg
