[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

[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.

[bodylove.livejournal.com]

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.

[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.

[toeknuckles.livejournal.com]

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

[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!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

What? What?!

ARGH!

[leecetheartist.livejournal.com]

I don't really understand how it works, but I'm glad I've got a DW account, and I'm glad I'm leaving Facebook as soon as Diaspora opens. Or I hope to, anyway.

Sorry in advance if I inadvertently stuff something.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

That even allows for other people to repost your locked entries? Wow, that is pathetic.

I post certain LJ posts to facebook, I'll do it as a link post thanks.

I discovered I could block Twitter Feeds on Facebook this morning. *happy*

[emberleo.livejournal.com]

Oh Ha-ell no.

--Ember--

[shistavanenjedi.livejournal.com]

It's probably only one of those things which people who are absolutely obessed with Facebook, Twitter and Live Journal will do. (I've come across some of those and I find it pathetic - they should get a life)

[feralkiss.livejournal.com]

Am I at risk too even though I don't have a FB right now? D:

If so I'll surely re-post the comment from Ariestess in my own journal because it sums up exactly my thoughts; and also I'm considering quitting LJ entierely since I've been using DW more and more, and less and less people I know on LJ are active on my journal.

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Gack!!

Thanks for the heads-up; I never read news posts.

Dammit, they need to let -journal owners- decide if content posted in a given journal can be cross-posted, ESPECIALLY locked posts.

[findingruby.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I just saw that now as I was commenting on your last entry that there's an option to 'repost to fb or twitter'. Horrifying! IMO FB is for really shallow impersonal networking. All I do is post videos on there or really shallow news of my life/career for networking purposes. LJ is like SOOO personal. I don't understand how the cmp thinks the two should ever mix. Just seeing it there makes me feel violated! !

[pyewackettt.livejournal.com]

Got to agree with the general opinion. This is HORRIBLE.

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

I had the Facebook thing disabled since before this most recent change. I didn't realize that the change meant that someone could repost their comment from your journal automatically to Facebook. And the owner of the journal can't prevent such linking? Stuff that noise. Seriously. I'm fortunate in that my f-list is relatively small, and everyone on it groks that I can't do Facebook for professional reasons. I think. I hope. I might have to do a post, just to remind some people who are very casual friends and who love social media. They may not realize that them creating such a link means I will pack my tents and leave lj. I really do love livejournal, but RL profession trumps OL fun.

Thank you for the warning. It goes without saying that you never have to worry about anything of the kind from me.

[merimask.livejournal.com]

I double-checked my settings to make sure it's not something that I'm inadvertantly doing already. It looks like you have to quite deliberately check the box in order to cross-post, so no worries there because I agree with you, it's a remarkably bad idea.

The whole point, IMO, of LJ is that it's an actual place to "journal". FB is like; "hey, look, a funny YouTube video" or "I had jello for lunch today" or "I have allergies...boo". FB and LJ...They're apples & oranges. Why cross-post to a forum that discourages journaling??

[plantyhamchuk.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm fuming that I paid for a membership at this point.

[songtoisis.livejournal.com]

WHAT?!

Okay, maybe I can see reposting one's own posts to facebook or twitter, but comments on other people's stuff--even friends locked? That's absurd. :/

Do. Not. Like

Total LiveJournal Fail. Your secrets are safe with me.
