Generally speaking I don't mind the functionality LJ has implemented. I object to HOW they implemented it, and how they automatically opted everyone into it, whether people wanted it or not.
Every time I comment to someone, I have to be careful to type over the "Repost settings", and that's what really annoys me. It would be SOOOO easy to accidentally repost one of my comments or something to Facebook, and I do NOT connect my fandom identity with my Facebook presence.
Not only that, but the way they have it set up, one of my LJ friends could comment on one of my friends-locked LJ entries and then repost that comment to Facebook, which I feel strongly is a violation of my privacy. I realize the words are someone else's, but the locked-entry is mine, and there are still questions, from what I understand, about what actual content is posted to Twitter or Facebook.
These two things are what I actually object to, rather than the convenience of reposting to FB or Twitter. Then again, I already have something set up with my writing journal to crosspost it to FB and Twitter, and that was before LJ set up the crossposting options.
So I've disabled the option to repost my journal entries, but I'm very wary, and I don't really want to go friends-only again (which I did for a while after my last bad breakup), but I might have to. :/
Then again, you're one of my friends, so you won't miss anything either way. LOL
