Please DO NOT cross-post to Facebook or twitter, especially comments to locked posts. Well, I don't have a twitter account, but ... I do have a facebook and I have RL people on there. I like to think that this little corner of the onlineverse is mine to be who I want in and to keep the company I choose. I can guarantee that I will not crosspost anything to FaceBook or Twitter, especially not any comment I might post in your journal.

Thank you.

I am considering disabling LJ comments altogether when I post during the week from work (which I have to do from DreamWidth since my work filter bans LJ). I think it'll be safer.

Can I interest you in DreamWidth in the meanwhile? DW is a fantastic community, a warm community and a safe place that really respects its users. Also, whatever you post on DW can be cross-posted AND CROSS-EDITED to LJ, which is super-cool (especially when you have no access to LJ from work, which is my case). If you're in need of a code for DreamWidth, there is a codefest currently going on at copperbadge's journal with tons of them to grab, and should you still need a code afterwards, please send me a word, I have several to give away. :)

Well I have you friended on DW, so I don't mind if you disable comments over here =)

C & p'd from erastes (haven't tried it myself):

As to the FB/Twitter button, that’s easily removed by downloading Greasemonkey and using this plug in. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/85105 It works immediately and lo and behold you can simply press enter again without having to skip.

Tell me if it works, 'kay?

That hides it for you, however it doesn't stop those people commenting on your journal from cross-posting the comments - which is, to my mind, a much bigger issue.

Myself, I don't have the facebook/twitter linking enabled, so they're greyed out for me. No accidental cross-posting by me!

[lilian-cho.livejournal.com]

Ahh gotcha. I don't have FB or Twitter, but the options are still annoying to look at.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

... *cracks up* I don't have it enabled either. So, you know, bah bah bah sheepish posting bah, but I don't have the linking enabled anyways. :D

What stress kitten said below... *sighs*

Well, I am hoping that people will be reasonable and will roll their eyes at LJ for even offering the option. If needed, I'll just move permanently to DW, but I don't think it'll come to that. I think that considering the uproar, we'll get an "official" way to opt out.... eventually.

I can never leave my LJ but since I don't have a twitter or a facebook, you can be assured I won't be crossposting.

In fact I can't really imagine any people that I personally know doing it. Not sure why LJ thought it was a good idea.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

I HAVE NO IDEA. Considering the uproar, I suspect that they will backpedal or at least offer a way to permanently OPT-OUT OMG!

<3

[drazzi.livejournal.com]

I'm totally waiting for the opt-out and backpeddling with my popcorn!

(also, because it was Feather's bday today I often found myself thinking of you, Froglet and Tadpole! Hope you're all well ♥)

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

We are! I will post photos soon :) *hugs* and thank you for reminding me that I HAVE to see the photo of Delighted Feather! I can see your posts on DW from work, but not the pictures!

I've got a bunch of extra DW invites, too, if CB runs low. Just ask.

Also, you need to run the fix on your own journal. A friend provided it earlier and it works once you insert it in your journal style:

*nods* yes, but apparently this fix is mainly cosmetic: it takes the ticky boxes away but doesn't solve the actual problem. (See explanation here (http://florahart.livejournal.com/1148886.html#cutid1)).

But thank you. :) Also, thank you for the codes. DW is a fabulous place, really.

[lonespark.livejournal.com]

DW sounds good. A lot of good communities are there. I am much against the facebook crossing and I have no twitter.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

DW is a really cool place. :) Would you like a code, if you don't already have an account there? AND THEN PLEASE FRIEND ME! :D I am la_rainette there, too.
