Don't breach my privacy.

For a very long time I've been extremely wary about talking about non-fandom aspects of my life online. It's only been in the past six months or so that I've noticed the old anxiety finally wearing off. Then LJ goes and does this.

I have very good reasons, like many of us do, for keeping my fandom life separate from all the rest of it. Please don't post anything you see on this journal to FB and Twitter. I'm getting that Greasemonkey script as I type.

I've disabled the Pingback feature but I don't know if that's good enough. What is this Greasemonkey script of which you speak?

Pingback is something rather different - it alerts you if someone is linking to a post you made. Personally, I consider that to be useful - I want to know if someone is linking to my posts either on or off LJ.

(sorry there, just had to comment)

Man, I am getting way too old for this $#!+. Darn you kids and your social networking.

Ah, but pingback only works on public posts, not locked posts for guess what?

security reasons.

Yup!

This thing gets rid of the ticky box options for FB and Twitter under your 'Post Comment' box so you'll never accidently crosspost anything yourself or get irritated by their very presence.

This is much faster

If you want to remove this option from your comment boxes you can get the information in this post by saifai.

thank you animekittysama!

(I am still seeing the facebook and twitter boxes on your journal now)

The Greasemonkey code just works for you as you're veiwing Livejournal, to make it so you can't use the repost function. It doesn't remove the option from your journal so that no one can repost. You have remove that option through CSS.

I tried. Like I said higher up, it looks like I might need to upgrade from my Basic account to get that to work.

Shes working on another fix, I think.
