Well, that was a tempest in a china drinking vessel.

So, what did I miss?
*looks at the 296 journals that have accumulated since I last bothered deleting any*
Lots of people saying they're not leaving FA but are opening accounts at other furry sites, unlike those OTHER furries who are apparently drama-llama-ing out and leaving FA forever. Who? Which other furries? The only one in all those 296 journals that said they were leaving forever did so in a careful, well-researched and considered way.
I guess I'm just following all the right people. :-P
Thanks for being awesome, guys. Keep your common sense hats on, you're restoring my faith in hum - er, whatever this is.
FWIW I think we have bigger fish to fry than which furry art sites we use at the moment anyway. With the Snowden revelations floating around I would rather migrate away from mainstream sites to the furry ones (and my own website, and distributed/peer-to-peer stuff like Diaspora and Opensim). Not because of having anything to hide, but for the principle of the thing. Not that I'm even doing that quickly. These things take time when you have a couple of hundred on your friends list and trying to persuade even a small number of them to move is very tough. So it's more a gradual scaling-down thing in such places as Secondlife, Facebook, Google+ and eventually Twitter. Yeah, by the time I'm on the P2P things etc, it will turn out that they too are subverted, but at least I have some motivation to move my ass gradually, rather than just sit there and take the government agencies' words at face value. And so some kind of progress will happen, like it should, rather than continued lock-in. Facebook will become irrelevant. All things do in the end. So will FA. But not just yet. VCL is still going for crying out loud.
