Due to Livejournal enacting the ability to cross-post your comments to other networking sites irrespective of the privacy settings of the journal in which you are posting them...

"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

IMO, locked posts are locked for a reason. There is no way to know how locked down a post is unless it's your own (which is as it should be). Anyone who is so disrespectful of my privacy as to use this 'feature' on my journal is not my friend. You get one chance with the privacy portion of my trust, and then it's gone.

The parts of my life that are connected to the disparate versions of 'me' on my journal(s) and on my Facebook are separate for a reason. Anyone who connects them for other people is not my friend, they are actively playing with my safety without my consent.

What? People on LJ can repost locked posts or comments elsewhere?! Yeesh, yet another reason not to go near the horrors of FarceBork or Twit.

I'm well aware that anything anyone can see on the internet can be copied and reposted elsewhere, via crosspost/copy-paste/screenshot. But I assume - because ya gotta trust someone, sometimes - that my LJ-list people would respect me enough to ask first! And if I say no, to take that as a no.

Also, and slightly more dangerously, they've introduced pingback again, except the default case is "Yes" (Open) rather than "No." And since it is bidirectional, it not only notifies you when others link to your journal entries, but also when you link to others.

Default for any settings should always be no change to the status quo.

Yeah, I'm unimpressed.

And judging by the 2000+ comments to that News post, I'm not the only one. Hopefully they'll have an official comment on the subject soon. *sigh*

It's funny---I posted a request in my own journal to the same effect first thing today, too, but I was much, much milder in my word choice. I am amused at myself for being so (maybe unnecessarily) polite.

This is stupid with a side of stupidsauce.

I have dreamwidth invites....

And yes, I keep the FB and DW aspects very separate. VERY.
