Hey guys.

Due to LJ's new Facebook and Twitter Connect feature, I've decided it's time and more than time to make my f-list smaller. It's nothing against anyone, but I feel uncomfortable with the thought that people I don't know well (or haven't known for a long time) have that kind of ability to re-post comments on my journal into other media so easily.

This particular journal is a boring personal one now, anyway, so I guess it's more than time to disentangle it from older fandom things.

For the Zuka folks, I hope we'll keep in touch over at ekusudei♥

I'm happy that you kept me. <3

When I saw that Facebook/Twitter stuff this morning, the first thing I did was trying to find a way to turn the buttons invisible. But it seems there isn't one. :(
I have neither one nor the other, and the fact that even lj now jumps on the bandwagon is kind of annoying, in particular that 'repost comment' function.

Anyway, as I said, I am happy that you kept me. ♥

There is a way to make it so that you can't see them on your own computer, so long as you use Firefox. (http://tiptoe39.livejournal.com/1151391.html) But it doesn't really fix the problem.

Thank you. <3

...from what I see in the icons in the link you posted, the new options don't have many fans.

It does seem to be overwhelmingly disliked. On the other hand, that may be because the people who like it don't feel the need to speak out.

If they're trying to do this to rope *in* FaceBook users, which the wording in their latest "news" update seems to say, it does make a twisted kind of sense.

Which STILL leaves them with 10,000 enraged livejournal users. Heh.
