DisConnect
1 September 2010 19:10Like everyone else, I respectfully request that nobody cross-posts any of my comments - in particular ones in locked posts - to Facebook or Twitter.
I generally try to be careful with what I put in comments even of locked posts, as nothing is ever 100% secure, but nonetheless I can't remember everything I said in the last 6 years of LJing and something in there might well have been a little more tactless than I'd like to be publically available!
Also...I may be being particularly dumb, but I thought I'd ask so cleverer people can enlighten me... My understanding is that the new Greasemonkey DisConnect script only stops my own browser from cross-posting LJ comments to Facebook? Which, since I had no plans to do so anyway and was hardly going to do so by accident, isn't really a big deal for me. I can't imagine it can physically delve into the LJ site itself and stop anyone else from doing it with my comments, right? So installing it is basically an aesthetic feature, not a security one?
ETA: Ah!!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daluci actually seems to explain here that the Greasemonkey script doesn't stop other people reposting comments on your LJ, it only makes your LJ look box-free to you.
