I have discovered a fascinating thing! There are a LOT of people out there who are "plural" in some way. (No, this is not the fascinating thing, though it is fascinating I knew it already.) Apparently a fair number of them have gotten annoyed at the need to say "this is so-and-so speaking" when posting lj posts, so they have made a journal for each persona/personality and then created a community locked so that only their personas can join, and then each posts as his or herself, and thus their friends can readily watch everybody by watching the community, rather than needing to friend and keep track of a heap of individual journals. (I know this can be hard, because I've had multiple journals for one "person" friended before, and I kept forgetting they were attached to the same person.
This is a neat idea! Of course it'd be of little use to me, as I'm too integrated. The personas speak up from time to time, but they mostly address me, or eachother, they are generally content to let me do all the interacting with the rest of the world, since I am them and they are me, so none of the other journals, were I to make them, would get much use.
But still, a really interesting idea.
