Is a community site a community even if its users don’t communicate? That’s the question for Livejournal users on Friday, March 21st when a User Content Strike begins. The strike is being spearheaded by member beckyzoole. Users are encouraged to not post any new content or comments to LiveJournal from midnight GMT to midnight GMT on Friday in an effort to get the attention of the new owners of Livejournal to meet their demands.
As a Livejournal user I really want to show my solidarity but I wonder if this will work? Will this even be a blip on the radar? Will no new user generated content on a site that’s entire commodity is user generated content survive something like this for prolonged periods? Also what affect will this have on other social networks?
Maybe Livejournal's new owners need to take a look at this?
