[Warning]

[moonvoice]

As per the ability to now cross-post your comments whether they are on screened, filtered, friends-locked or public settings of other people's posts:

"If I find out that ANYONE is reposting things from my journal to their Facebook or Twitter, even if it's their own comments, YOU ARE UNCONDITIONALLY AND WHOLLY BANNED FROM MY JOURNALS AND ANY COMMUNITIES I CREATED AND MAINTAIN. There will be no second chances on this. My journals and my Facebook do not mix. Fuck that shit." (- ganked from ariestess)

You might as well unfriend me now, if you think this is going to be a problem. I am dead serious. Fuck Livejournal, for their growing FB style issues with privacy, that I even have to be making this warning in the first place.

geez, lj loses its shine more and more every day

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

It's shinier than Facebook, that's for sure, but god this pisses me off. There's not even an option to stop people from being able to do it on your journal!

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

The fact that the whole sharing LJ posts on FB gives me the heebie jeebies guarantees I won't be sharing mine or anyone else's content.

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know it was there until you posted about it, hopefully if we complain they will add an option to turn it off?

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

About 95% of 1108 comments on that News article (that I've seen so far) are of the mentality that this blows chunks.

So hopefully LJ will grow a clue.

I agree - I was really uncomfortable to see that - my LJ is personal and I keep it separate from FB and it makes me fear that somehow it will be connected.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

It's aaaaawful, I haven't seen one person, so far, think it's a great idea on the News comments page, and I'm up to page 4/5.

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

yeah I have just been there and added my 0.00002cents

[bodylove.livejournal.com]

hopefully the LJ team will take that crap off?

[bodhifox.livejournal.com]

One might hope so.

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the headsup on the fuckery.

D= Yeah, I'm glad a lot of people are expressing this new feature as being a *Bad Idea*. We can hope that helps in LJ being hit with the clue-by-four to drop this feature or at the very least allow for an opt-out to disallow people from using the feature on your own journal, like you mentioned. Oh Facebook and Twitter, how I hate them, and further hate how other sites want to bend over backwards to put stupid (and bad) features on their sites so they can "better connect to the 'Wonder that is Twitter and Facebook'". -_-

Nice to be aware of this now, though (I suppose I should do better at reading those LJ news notes), and I'm thinking, and hoping, that no one on my f-list is stupid enough to do that for any comments they make on my journal.

I KNOW. WTF were they thinking?! UGH. Just another reason why I might (70% decided) delete my facebook profile once Diaspora gets launched. I'm definitely making it a shell account, where I essentially delete everything except maybe one profile photo and actual friends.

[welshwmn3.livejournal.com]

I am right there with you on this one.

[aleia-kali.livejournal.com]

I'm not quite sure whats going on, but it doesn't sound good. :(

[erynn999.livejournal.com]

While I use twitter and am pleased that my mom, who has a facebook account, can now comment not-anonymously on my LJ, I have no love for the no-opt-out thing about the comments. It is made of suck and ruin and doom. With doomsauce and extra doom sprinkles. DOOM, I tell you.

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

whas Diaspora??

[toeknuckles.livejournal.com]

...what the fuck? I don't like this new feature at all.

Open-source, privacy aware social networking site. A relative of my friend is one of the co-creators. =) I'm thinking it'll be interesting at the least, but I do have a feeling it'll be one of those "wait and see for sure" deals.

[freyaw.livejournal.com]

May I copy/paste this sentiment to my own journal?

[earthguardian.livejournal.com]

I saw that and was like... o.o''

I dislike this intermingling of social networking sites. I already hate twitter and sort of marginally tolerate FB. THIS IS LAME BEYOND LAME!

[freyaw.livejournal.com]

And by 'sentiment' I mean the bit in quotes, because I've written a more 'me' bit to go round it.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! I hope it gets spread far and wide. It's soooo fail.
