 ...I don't quite understand what's going on with LJ and Facebook right now.  This is a test to see if it's doing what I think it's doing.  >_>;;;;


Okay, well it didn't.  Someone wanna explain to me what's going on?  I just spent the last hour or so doing reeeeally painful Statistics homework and my brain hurts from trying to figure things out.  HALP.

Try to leave someone a comment. You'll see a new option in the comment box, asking if you want to cross-post your comment to facebook. Apparently people can post comments to facebook even if it is in a flocked entry, so people are really worried about privacy right now, especially since so many people keep FB and LJ separate. :(

...Oh my god that's terrible.

I usually respond to comments via yahoo mail, so I hadn't noticed.

That's.. Jesus, what a terrible idea. What is it with my internet pastimes of choice (WoW, lj) and fucking with my privacy? =/ No bueno.

Also, thank you for filling me in!

Yeah, I was like WTF too.

Yeeeah. Now I get it though. I suppose I should probably ask the flist not to link to my stuff that way.

Then again, everyone on my fb knows what I get up to on the internet anyway, I don't exactly hide it. Still. Bad deal, LJ.

Really? I have a Facebook but never use it. If I actually used it more, I'd still keep intarwebz stuff off it for the most part because NO ONE WOULD UNDERTAAAAND.

Yeeah I mean the people that matter on FB all know what I do. XD And new friends, well, they'll find out eventually. And my family knows so it's not that big a deal, really.

But I still think it's a fucking terrible idea. :| Privacy is important, jfc.
