ARGH

Dear LiveJournal,

I do NOT want my entries or comments posted to Twtiter or Facebook!  STOP ASKING ME!  And why did you interfere with the flow of "type comment - hit tab - hit enter - post"???  Now when I do that you ask me to set my Facebook and Twitter settings!  NO NO NO!  Some of us use keyboard shortcuts and the TAB key and you have MESSED THAT UP!

Not much love right now,

Me

In other news, I think I had a date tonight, but I'm not sure.  He's going on vacation Thursday, so I guess I'll find out after Labor Day if it was a date or just drinks that lasted for an hour and a half.




There's a reason I don't date much. Or maybe this is WHY I don't date much.  >.>

Correct me if I'm wrong...

I just went through my account settings. And you can disable the options to repost on FB and Twitter in the privacy section. This includes comments.

I also liked the fact I could restrict the inclusion of search engines for my journal.

I think ...I may be wrong...but LJ needed to do this to maintain some 'flexibility' for posters.

I personally liked the idea of having the option.

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

My understanding is that it will link to the flocked entry but unless your on the flist, you can't access the actual locked entry. HOWEVER, if the the fb posted comment includes any quoting of your flocked post (as I quoted in this one), then THAT will be readable.

It doesn't really auto opt you in...unless the accts are already connected, I think. I haven't connected my fb/twitter to my LJ and it won't let me click in the radio boxes for the repost settings (which is why it skips it when I hit tab to post! *lol*) I dunno. Stupid LJ is stupid. Par for the course!

No, I never had it set up, and if I hit tab, it was taking me to the "crossposting settings, do you want to crosspost to facebook and twitter" page. So I guess I wasn't opted in, but it still KEPT ASKING ME. Argh.

But you're right, it doesn't actually show the entry, but it DOES show the person's comment, and right here you just quoted a bunch of what I wrote in your comment. LOL But more seriously, you can often pretty much get the gist of what a f-locked entry is about if you can read a comment someone made to it. :/

Also? I really don't want some of my real life friends knowing I write explicit slash. LOL
