It being so small because of needing to be slow with invite codes so they do not overtax the system and watch it ramp up slowly is smart. It is good development.
At the same time it could make it seem a bit clique-y and in-crown, and I am inherently uncomfortable with that feeling. I don't mean I am uncomfortable with the concept, or that I intellectually don't care for it. I mean, that when people make comments like, "oh, you must be one of the cool kids," it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
BUT, as an introvert, I LOVE it. I love it being smaller. It takes less energy for me to cope with it, which leaves me more energy to enjoy it. Some days LJ only feels like work to me.
I am still so interested in what could maybe be done here, especially if they stay more responsive to user input. It makes it feel worthwhile to stretch my wings a little, maybe start a very small but involved writing community.
