re-orging LJ, stage two
Oct. 1st, 2007 07:12 amok, the second part of re-orging my lj is setting up filter lists for my friends' list. i'm doing this in two parts - a set of filters for me, mostly based on reading patterns, and a set of filters for folks on my f-list.
so for me, based on reading/ posting patterns, i have people and groups i want to check 'daily', 'weekly', and 'monthly'.
for the happiness of folks on my friends' list, i have filters set up for 'life', 'health', 'fannish stuff', and 'TMI'. now, most of my stuff is publicly posted, and that's likely to continue. what i figure i'm going to do with those filters going forward is:
LIFE filter: most things tagged life will probably remain publicly posted, but i will probably flock to this filter 1) life-meta, 2) grumbling about things like periods, and other stuff that's... normal but not usually brought up in polite conversation. this filter already has on it everyone who has friended me.
HEALTH filter: i figure on reserving this filter for folks who are really interested in my weekly stats for my diet. there are a few people whom i know will want to have this information, i don't mind adding more, not a big deal. but i figured the majority of my friends probably don't want that stuff cluttering up their friends' pages.
FANNISH STUFF filter: most of my fannish stuff - specifically fan-meta and gen fanfic - will remain publicly posted going forward. this filter is primarily for those who also want to opt in on reading any slash snippets i come up with, or the more personal meta like 'do your bedroom tastes coincide with your slashy tastes'. again, i figure like 90% of my flist can do without.
TMI filter: this is for the really personal painful stuff about me that i'm not comfortable with 90% of my flist seeing. there are some people who i'll probably put in here right away, but you should definately mention it if you would like to be exposed to the inner ugliness.
i'm going to try to keep my filters to these four. if you would like to opt-in or opt-out of a specific filter, please reply to this post. otherwise, i'm going to put people where i think they'd want to be. i'll be logical about it, but you still might be surprised where you end up.
