el jay crossposting policies

[firecat]

I like being able to maintain some separation among my various accounts on the Internet.

Therefore, I'm not planning to link my FB and Twitter accounts to my LJ account or enable automatic crossposting for my LJ journal entries.

I'm not planning to auto-crosspost my comments in other people's journals to FB or Twitter.

Occasionally I hand-post the URL to one of my public LJ journal entries to FB or Twitter. Occasionally I copy and paste a comment I made in another person's journal and repost the text elsewhere. When I do this, if the entry I commented on is locked, I don't mention where the comment came from, and I remove all identifying information.

I don't care if you auto-crosspost your journal entries or your comments on my journal entries. I will adjust my posting habits with the assumption that such things might happen. (E.g., I might allow comments on DW only for my locked journal entries.)

Certainly! If you quote it exactly please attribute to firecat.

Thank you - it's handy having articulate friends on here, saves me having to do too much of that thinking stuff!

I'm delighted to have saved you the energy of thinking about this, because it really is a pretty stupid thing to have to think about.

Indeed. It is also just about the only thing on my f'list this morning.

Oh well, there'll be another scandal along in a minute to start the noise all over again I'm sure.
