Kerfuffle de Jour
.
For all you good folks freaking out about the FB/Twitter Thing:
You do realize, don't you, that commenters have ALWAYS had the ability to repost their comments elsewhere? All they have to do is COPY-PASTE.
Just like everywhere else on the web, with anything else on the web.
All LJ has done is add a button that makes it a one-click deal. But it's not anything that's been impossible before.
So all this mass exodus is kind of an over-reaction, don't you think? I mean, considering that if anyone wanted to cross-post their comments here, they've probably already been doing it.
Me, I don't have no truck with stupid crap like Facebook and Twitter, and I no longer post anything that's in the least identifiable here, so I really don't give much of a shit about my stuff being re-posted. But I just thought I'd point this out.
