Until LJ gets their heads out of their asses and add a setting to opt your journal and comments there out of being shared, please do not repost any comments made in my LJ to Facebook or Twitter. (See the latest post in news.)

[Edit: A comment over in the news post is pretty much exactly my position too:

I don't mind the option to cross-post to my Facebook, as I often do like my LJ entries posted to my FB account.

However, like about a million other people here, I do NOT want any comments made to my friends-locked entries to appear ANYWHERE on Facebook. (If that is the case, your explanation of the feature is amazingly unclear.)

but I don't WANT my fb friends to see my LJ! That's why I have both, for fucks sake!

Yup. Seriously, no.

Hmm... I think if you go to account settings, privacy, pingbacks, and set it disabled, it will remove the 'share this' link. Not sure...

[argh-jim.livejournal.com]

So disabling pingbacks (per the instructions in the annoying banner at the top of the page) doesn't work?

OMG NO. I want them separate!

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm going to copy your entry, as I don't want people to repost my LJ stuff to FB either.

Sheesh!

Agreed. I do NOT want to be found via Facebook or Assbook or any other book in between!!! I believe Twitter to be made up of twits and twats, too.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. You are saying that my journal and comments are being shared without me having any way to say don't do that?

That's not what I see on the settings page. I have the option of anything -i- post to be shared to my FB page or Twitter, but I have them turned off (as they are by default).

What am I missing?
