Stop taking over the Internet, Facebook!

Sep 01, 2010 00:04

In case you were wondering, this is how I feel about LJ's new decision to add Twitter and Facebook crossposting options to entries and comments:

Love the gif... but it's not like LJ's making it mandatory or anything.

greenconverses September 1 2010, 04:23:24 UTC

Yeah, but it's still obnoxious change they didn't tell us about and there's no opt-out option.

allisnow September 1 2010, 04:49:26 UTC

Isn't the opt out just not to sign up?

But that doesn't stop other people from being able to re-post their comments on your entries to their FB/Twitter platforms. That extends to comments on f-locked entries too, from what people are saying in the news post.

It also doesn't stop Facebook users from commenting on your LJ either, unless you restrict it commenting to friends only, I suppose.

I never connected or whatever my twitter and facebook with LJ so the repost to option is there, but i can't click it...

but i agree, it sucks.

Yeah, you know, some WARNING might have been nice. Also, the default set to "Don't do this" would have also been nice; I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter, but I still have to jump through hoops (on every single account... and I have a bunch, for RP) to tell it to stop showing me options to crosspost. D<

... Wait, you mean I can't get rid of those stupid "repost" ticky boxes? I AM NOT HAPPY. D:

Nope, not even if you're not using it. You get to stare at them allllll day.

ad_exia September 1 2010, 05:02:10 UTC

Nooooooooooooo. ;; Gdit, that's annoying.

greenconverses September 1 2010, 05:02:02 UTC

Actually, someone on the news post said there was an option to block them out on Firefox, but since I use Chrome...

Stupid Facebook. Icon very related.

I'm a fan of Hades, btw.

Seriously, if I wanted my mom to know about all the smut I read...well I would be a beyond fucked up head case now, wouldn't I?

I created my blog for me. And fanfic. I don't want everyone to read my entry where I chewed out my economics professor. Granted I had already turned it in to my professor, but that's not the point.

I certainly don't want people that might hire me to read it. That's why I created the other website for myself. Duh.

And, as usual, your gifs are amazing.
