LiveJournal distributes paid limited-use accounts (two weeks) “to try”

Perhaps this new product will be of interest to those LiveJournal users who own a free account, be it a basic (“Basic”) or with a commercial (“Plus”). They always lack paid opportunities to create new polls, new RSS news broadcasts, watch “friends of friends” blog posts , and so on.

For me, this is another reason to think suddenly about what is fundamentally limited to the server model of blog hosting in comparison with the decentralized, serverless, P2P model. It is clear that the colossal concentration of traffic and data forces the server owners, firstly, to limit their users, and secondly, to remove these restrictions (and even then not completely) for the money to support their own economy.

If the blogosphere were not a server, then it would be possible:
')
→ unlimited number of avatars (userpics, user pictures) for free;

→ own range of moods in unlimited quantities and for free;

→ polls for free;

→ embedding a blog in your site for free;

→ view recent comments without restrictions;

→ unlimited photo album;

→ free user directories;

→ unlimited RSS feeds;

→ unlimited lists of "friends" (read blogs).

That is why I conceived the hypertext Fidonet, and that is why many leave LiveJournal for the so-called standalone blogs.
