Note: You don't need notification of entries published, as publishing of an entry (viz a comment) is done by the owner of the journal. You would only need notification for comments, as those might be cross-posted by a non-journal-owner.

True. My thought there was that someone considering whether to comment on the crossposted entry might want to know that it had been linked off-site, in case that affected what they said or how they said it.

[cahwyguy]

I'm not sure that's necessary, as the comment wouldn't automatically be crossposted (and if it was, it wouldn't be connected to the original post on FB).

Having a link on the entry to the location of any Facebook crosspost might be interesting for the readers, because sometimes those gather comments too. It could also be interesting for the entry owner, because Facebook's archival system sucks, to put it bluntly. If you want to see what discussion happened on a particular Facebook post, you can't just go look at a calendar, you have to hope you have a link to it handy, or try to find it by digging deeper and deeper in the past.

FB crossposting of comments to protected entries was disabled as per the last news post.

I would, however, still be interested in seeing that for public entries, as my mild preference is that this not be done. There's a suggestion that came out a couple days ago which would enable the journal owner to set whether crossposting of comments is available for that journal or any given post of it.

[azurelunatic]

Disabled for most users. Those with the Cyrillic Services flag turned on can still do that. Though I imagine that after the scandal about the whole thing, that they'll have the discretion to at least not do it in public.

[vvalkyri]

Y'know what drives me mad about FB? I can't /tell/ whether something is public, flock, friendsfriends, or what.

[jessicala]

Yeah, there have been several changes since I submitted this that make the suggestion less interesting. In fact, if LJ does implement the idea of allowing a journal owner to control whether comments can be crossposted, this one probably isn't necessary.

I like this idea. I'd prefer to ban any X-posting altogether, but if that isn't happening, it's nice to know someone is taking the conversation elsewhere.
