re: livejournal's new facebook and twitter connect "feature", also known as "what is this absolute fuckery?": anyone who wants to use that feature on any entry of mine, locked or unlocked, please feel free to defriend me right now. anyone not on my flist who wants to use that feature on any entry of mine: if i find out, i will ban you. i have never banned anyone from my journal, ever, but this feature is an invasion of privacy that is so blatant is astonishes me, and i don't want to be part of it.

it's quite likely i will take this failtastic policy as the impetus to finally set up my dreamwidth account all nice and proper and start posting from there. feel free to follow me over there, whether i have you friended or not. i don't lock much content in any case. but when i do, weirdly enough, i don't want random people on facebook and twitter to be able to read excerpts of it. crazy, i know!

ngl, i was avoiding moving from lj. because i've been here a long time, because this is where the comms are, because dreamwidth is a bit of a shit name for a social networking/blogging site. but hey, i'll take a shit name over not being able to control where my content is posted while being bombarded by invasive pop-up ads for inane trash that make me long for the destruction of western civilisation.
