Yep. I guess the reason I'm not really getting worked up about this is that I can't imagine a single person on my friendslist even considering to activate the crossposting feature. Well, that, and I assume that LJ will take the feedback to heart and fix the whole xposting-from-flocked-posts mess... I just can't see that that was intended; more likely, they didn't think it through very well and implemented it sloppily.
Or maybe I'm not getting worked up 'cause I got my DW. *pets*
Deal. It seems to me that to do so without the express permission of all involved is just plain RUDE, anyway, and yeah, I keep Facebook and lj/dw totally separate. On purpose.
I don't know if you had seen this further information about just who it is involved in the Facebook/Livejournal relationship.
When I first read about all of this yesterday, I was kind of annoyed with LJ for at least not offering the changes to to users as an opt-in rather than a default but I used the killscript in Greasemonkey to take care of it and went on about my business.
However, once people started checking in on pingbacks and how they were working and now the information above? Yeah, that's giving me some serious pause. I'm going to keep crossposting for now and make feeds for things I want to keep reading on LJ so I can read them in DW.
I don't mind paying for services or someone with a business model that strives to be transparent. What I do mind is when someone tries to slip in some changes under the guise of "wow, you are really going to love this" and not reveal what else might going on behind the scenes. That's just dirty pool.
