One more reason to dislike LJ...

calimeI heart the effort people are making in providing information about fandom-friendly candidates for the Advisory Board elections. But. I CANNOT PUT THAT INFORMATION INTO ANY USE. BECAUSE THE FREAKING LJ AUTOMATICALLY PUTS ME INTO THE *CYRILLIC SEGMENT*, which has SEPARATE VOTING, with candidates I know nothing of.
I AM NOT RUSSIAN. Not by nationality nor by country nor by culture. I deeply resent being FORCEDLY included in *Cyrillic segment* and frankly, it makes me also deeply uncomfortable that a Russian-money-owned company automatically slaps Russian-language service etc onto the user accounts that originate from countries that were formerly OCCUPIED by USSR, countries, towards which Russia still keeps having territorial ambitions. THAT is the last and strongest reason to keep away from LJ for me.

Krt, kui ma tahan venekeelses keskkonnas blogida, siis ma valin kohe alguses venekeelse keskkonna, eks ole.
