We've got some exciting updates this week, so sit tight and we'll get started. Of course, news would not be complete without a special gift from Frank. It appears that he neglected to celebrate birthdays this month.

Please, please allow us to opt out: getting rid of the repost links, as well as the ability of others to repost comments on OUR posts (in personal LJs and communities).

Consider, imagine if LJ changed it so that although a FO post was secure, people replying could make their replies public on LJ? Even without introducing the idea of other social network accounts, this would still seem bizarre behaviour to me. And suddenly changing the behaviour would be a fundamental change to how LJ works. For starters, it wouldn't be possible to have filtered posts, without other people knowing that you'd filtered them off.
who could previously manually cross-post their comment contentSure, but I think people doing that would knowingly be malicious - the fear here is that if it's there as a feature, especially if no one had complained about it, then people are more likely to cross-post without thinking of the implications. There's also the way that it's linked to the original post, rather than simply being a genuine multipost (and ( ... )
