PSA

Not that I think that any of my friends would be rude enough to cross-post anything that is in my LJ to Facebook or Twitter, however just in case someone accidentally forgets in the rush, please make sure you don't. I intentionally keep this separate, as there are folks over in FB/Twitterland that I very much do not wish to have any connection to my LJ for very major reasons, which is why it is almost exclusively Friends-locked.

For myself, I do not have the settings enabled, nor is my LJ connected in any way to my Facebook/Twitter pages, so I can't accidentally cross-post. Hopefully they'll correct the annoying feature that allows it to repost things that are locked soon. LJ does seem to be good about fixing things that irritate their users when they tell them to.

Thanks! :)

Did a little experimenting with the new cross-posting thing (as I have two LJ accounts).

1.) You can't accidentally cross-post. You have to enable the feature and link it to one of the accounts.

2.) You can't cross-post locked entries.

3.) If you cross-post a comment that is in a locked entry, it does post a link to LJ, HOWEVER, it does not allow you to even see the username of the account, but tells you that you must be logged in to see it.

4.) Even if you are logged in, you still can't see it unless you are on the user's friends list, and it still does not show the username.

5.) You will ONLY see the comment that you made in the entry, but as stated above, there is only a link to LJ's main page, nothing more.


As such, there really isn't so much of a privacy violation going on here at all. Everyone BREATHE ALREADY!!!
