Just say "NO" to Facebook and LJ playing together in reckless abandon

from spyglass_ :


I think this goes without saying, but just in case you're planning on using the pingback feature and crossposting any posts to facebook or twitter, please don't link back to me in any way. I like facebook and LJ to be separate things, and I definitely don't want my family and most of my RL friends finding this journal (or, worse, my fic journal). Thanks for the awful changes, LJ.


This just...it boggles my mind and sickens me. DO NOT DO THIS TO ME. Please. Let's keep LJ and Facebook and Twitter completely separate, just like they were meant to be.

Sigh. Hopefully they fix it. I just turned off the pingbacks and decided to lock my journal. So infuriating.

Amen. Though I would like to assume that locked journals can't be linked?

The pingback bothers me less than the cross-posting. At least the pingback only allows you to know where others are already linking you.

In any case, I agree, and promise not to share things from you with the rest of the world. ...and not just because you're on my FB and could thoroughly embarrass me with all you know about me. :P

This whole thing is starting to annoy me. And I really don't see the point in crossposting comments. Why would someone want to do this in the first place? And who the hell came up with it?

I agree...

By the way have friended you if that is okay.
