Um... That's a terrible idea.

There now exists on Livejournal an option to post your comments (even comments on entries which are themselves flocked) to Facebook and Twitter. These automatic cross-platform posts also include a link to the original post, even if that post is friends-locked or even private.

So, those of you reading me on Facebook, please do not use that function when commenting on my journal. I do not want my entries to be linked back, by anyone, to my Facebook page, because they are separate for a reason. Please respect my privacy and comment only on LJ when you choose to join the conversation.

For now, I am not disabling comments on my LJ because I don't know how much of an issue this is going to be and I know several people who only read my LJ crossposts and not my DW account at all. I want to keep these people around, but I am not down with this Twitter/Facebook thing, and if it happens, I will probably disable comments on my LJ to keep my profile low.
