I feel confident that my Friends list is full of people with too much common sense to crosspost their comments to FaceBook or Twitter, so I'm not going to bother threatening you with Dire Consequences or whatever.

In practise, I've no pressing professional or private reasons to take extreme precautions about my internet privacy. There is zero chance that my Father in Law will ever read anything on FaceBook, anywhere, and as for my other friends and relations, if they choose to connect the dots between my email address and other possibilities, and find the pattern emerges as two rapturously entwined penises and a lava lamp, well, caveat lector, is what I say.

I just find the whole concept of FaceBook tedious and pointless, and have no wish for any closer contact with Twitter than glancing at a few celebrity pages now and again. And I want those unsightly little buttons gone.

Meanwhile, I have the following scenario playing in my head:

LJ Management: OMG WTF BBQ????!!!11??

LJ Minions: *shrug* Told you so.

LJ Management: Make It Stop!

LJ Minions: How?

LJ Management: …. OMG WTF BBQ????!!!11??

LJ Minions: Let us know when you have orders. Sir.

DW Mole: Bwahahahahaha!


ETA A-HAH!

JM just posted a code that removes the tickies to cross post. :D

[pensnest]

And yay, stupid ticky boxes are gone!

My dog icon is not as cute as yours.

There's a solid amount of DW pimping going on in comments, particularly after about page, oh, 70 or so—not just great bundles of invite codes but links to the import function and DW Help and praise of how well it has already worked.

Apparently DW new users spiked by over 9,300 yesterday.

[sperrywink]

Wow, that's a lot!

The DW mole is awesome!

I'm also greatly amused to note at one point, rahaeli being helpful in the comments to the epic post of doom.

hee! I'm pretty sure that's exactly the way that conversation went down! *g*

I am in completely and utter agreement wrt paragraph 3 - that succinctly sums up my opinions on both FB and Twitter excatly

It does appear that A Deal Has Been Done, and this crap isn't going away. And yet, if it had been done with a modicum of intelligence, nobody would care except those who would rejoice. OPT-IN, people.

Found this. It makes sure that the option to crosspost comments from your journal doesn't exist for the commentor. Which is a start. I just wish when they add these "fantastic" new features they'd build in an opt out. After all this time you'd think they'd have learned.

“I met my girlfriend at a fitness center, but that is not a sensible way to meet given that a membership can cost $1,000 a month.”

I hope that's not USD!

I have a feeling that conversation has happened several times in the LJ headquarters. :D

Moving to DW as soon as I get a minute to set everything up.
