Strike me down
I'm so glad someone else came up with this. If you miss the struck-through LJ user icons, you can download a Firefox Greasemonkey script that adds them back here.
My main gripe with the Emboldening is that it flies in the face of usability: it's no longer immediately recognizable as an LJ user. The strikethrough manages to also convey stylistically the former nature of the LJ account -- whatever connotations that it took after the Memorial Day brouhaha, it was an efficient use of HTML styling, and I kinda miss it.
There's no good way of previewing it in LJ; suffice it to say it's distinctive from the old strikethrough style and consumes no extra bandwidth through a rather clever little setup.
