HOW ABOUT NO

Sep 02, 2010 14:32

Just repeating what many of you on my flist have already posted: I don't like LJ's new buttons that let you x-post entries and comments to facebook and twitter. It's fine if you want to use them on your own or public entries, but please don't use them with f-locked posts, mine or anyone else's. There's a reason people lock their posts, and many people don't want their lj profiles to be associated with their profiles on other social media networks. (Yes, I realise that nothing on Internet is ever 100% locked and you can always manually copy+paste text or make screenshots. There is, however, a difference between going through the trouble of making your own post about something you found and clicking that easily accessible pretty button that invites you to share.) So, before you hit that share button to x-post your clever comment for all the world to see, please check if the journal you're originally posting the comment to is locked. You were trusted when the owner of that journal added you to their friends list, please don't abuse that trust.
