Signal-Boost: LJ Will Be Fixing Its Latest Mistake

[browngirl]

Sorta, kinda, so they say.

"We'll be modifying the comment cross-posting portion of the Facebook and Twitter Connect feature so only comments on public entries (those marked 'Everyone') can be cross-posted. Once we implement this change, it will no longer be possible to cross-post screened comments or comments left on Friends Only entries.

And hey, they illustrated the post with a hilarious GIF.

Not sorta, kinda, they ARE fixing exactly what everyone was upset about.

Yes they addressed what was a big issue for a bunch of folks who were vocal about their displeasure. But no, they are not fixing exactly what I was upset about.

You're right, I used "everyone" to mean "the majority of the people I have heard about" and I should have been more specific; it was a quick comment written when I had little time.

Also, I shouldn't be so picky when in fact I haven't yet written about what makes me unhappy about the LJ-facebook crosspost thing, that does make the promised fix only a kinda-sorta thing.

I'll believe it when I see it, with LJ waiting a week to respond, then telling us the fix is two to three weeks out, what other company would you put up with delaying a security breech for a month?

And it's only one on a list of concerns for users.

Be prepared for more facebook and twitter intergration over the next few weeks along with that 'fix'.
