Users of Odnoklassniki are preparing a boycott of the social network over the introduction of a registration fee and other controversial changes, including the Friends Activity Feed and paid disabling of this feature. The action will begin on December 23 and, according to the organizers, will take place in several stages, from a boycott and a silence period to mass registration on VKontakte. The article also describes the mass deletion of protest groups and that the site's administration is not making concessions yet.

Participants of the social network "Odnoklassniki" intend to announce a boycott of the resource on December 23. This is reported by the website "Our Protest," specially created to organize the boycott. Users decided that the boycott will last until December 25. From December 25 to January 31, the second part of the boycott will begin, the so-called "period of silence." Starting February 1, users plan to register en masse in the social network "VKontakte," and from February 1 to 10 they will wait for the results.
The reason for this widespread discontent was the paid registration of new users.
The fact is that the site administration introduced a symbolic fee for registration back in early November, explaining these actions as an attempt to protect users from spam. Thus, "Odnoklassniki" became the first paid social network in Russia.
The recently introduced "Friends' Activity Feed" also came under a barrage of criticism. It is a service of rather dubious value, showing all public actions: who became friends with whom, who subscribed to which group, and who wrote messages where. But not everyone wants to publicize every action they take. In response, the administration introduced a fee to disable it.
In addition, outrage was caused by the mass deletion of protest groups against the administration's actions, created within the network. One such group, "Movement Against Paid Odnoklassniki," had more than 100,000 users before it was deleted. Another, "We Are for a Free Site," had 77,000 members. In total, the deleted groups included more than 210,000 users.
The administration of Russia's most popular resource is not yet making concessions to the "dissatisfied."
