LJ/Facebook/Twitter fix
Sep. 1st, 2010 11:50 amIf you want to get rid of the checkboxes offering to repost to Facebook and Twitter, go here for the Firefox and Chrome script. I believe it works for comments as well, although I haven't been able to test it yet since I'm at work and we use IE.
Also, if you don't like the system, leave a comment complaining so that LJ is aware it's an issue. It's worked in the past, so make sure you speak up.
You can also avoid the issue by denying FB and Twitter access, here. If you have Twitter or Facebook open when you hit 'save', a dialogue box will pop up asking for permission to connect to LJ. Deny, deny, deny.
For what it's worth, my public LJ is pretty much informally connected to my Facebook these days, what with family having access and the posting of travel blogs and such, so I'm not hugely stressed about people linking the two. (If you've seen my FB, you'll have realised I use it for playing Zoo World, posting photos and my Twitter feed.) Any locked entries, however, are another kettle of fish. They are locked for various reasons, I have various levels of filter security, and in order to avoid confusion, anything you see posted under a lock, don't repost your comments to Twitter or Facebook.
