This business about communities is really interesting. I hadn't realized there was such an interchange of opinions here, especially within specific communities. (I've joined several already--see "Friends" for details.) I never paid all that much attention to Livejournal before--it just seemed to be a refuge for angsty teenage girls, and I'm definitely not into that. Now that I've had a chance to explore it some more, I can see my original impression is flat-out wrong.
One question, though. Anyone can answer (or not): Why are some communities' membership closed? I'm thinking in particular of the Feminist community. I applied to join a bit ago and was declined. (I plan to try again, every month if necessary.) I realize they're probably worried about trolls--goodness knows Ginmar gets plenty of the little creeps--but it seems to me they need some fresh blood over there. I suppose I could always start my own, but I really don't have time.
Anyway, any tips and opinions about "Feminist" are welcome.
