The PSA that everyone else is making

[cupcake_goth]

I'm certainly not going to be cross-posting anyone's comments to FB or Twitter. Please do me the same courtesy.

(Really, LJ? Really? Yes, I have journals that I sporadically update in other places, but I'm (for the most part) at home here on LJ. The StuntHusband gave me a permanent account ages ago, and all my stuff is here! But good lord, LJ makes a lot of bone-stupid "improvements".)

EDITED TO ADD INFORMATION FROM cofax7: "Okay, and here's an update you should be concerned about (LJ only): According to rivkat, the reinstated LJ pingback function includes notices of links from locked posts, and the content of those locked posts. Which means, if I have pingback enabled and you have pingback enabled, and I put up a locked post linking to your post and bitching about you--you would get a pingback notice with some of the content of my locked post."

cofax7 tested this and reported: "I just got a pingback from a locked post, complete with at least a hundred words of the locked post. Consider yourself warned."

Comments

Apparently screened comments can be publicly crossposted too. :S

Oh fantastic.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that no one who would see any locked posts of mine would publicly crosspost anything, but still. The general potential for drama from this is amazing.

Very much so.

Without leaving lj (cause I like it here, damnit!) I see 4 options:

1. Trust your flist and comment however you want.
2. Not care about what anyone thinks and comment however you want.
3. Comment but keep neutral.
4. Stop commenting altogether.


Considering how many of my flist feels the same way about this new lj development, I'm leaning towards #1 with a little #3 meshed in for good measure. I mean, I'm not one to post drama or make inflammatory comments, but I have posted comments from experiences, vented, and gave advice to others that I'd rather not be everywhere.
