apocalypsosIt's something I realized this morning while reading ye olde friends list that goes a little something like this:
You realize how many of you people are already reposting FROM Twitter?
That's not to say crossposting TO Twitter isn't completely different and profoundly stupid, not the least of which because Twitter does you the favor of counting your characters so you don't try to repost something too long like a big goober, and because no matter how simply it may be not to click on the ticky box, it would also be even easier to fix it so that no one on your LJ who doesn't care to avoid reposting to Facebook and actually quite likes the idea doesn't do something dumb like post a link to your non-con Dean/Castiel bestiality mpreg.
(... er, no one write that.)
On the face of it, it seems such a smart idea. So many people have already linked Twitter to their account, right? They'd love to crosspost! Except, you know, it's clearly been implemented by someone with no concept of the Internet whatsoever, or at least someone with no deeper thoughts than, "Livejournal bad, Twitter pretty!" Because while lots of people repost Twitter recaps, that doesn't really mean they want the streams to cross.
That said, I still don't get the Facebook thing. Facebook and Livejournal have two entirely different filthy mentalities, people. Facebook is for flashing your boobs under your own name, Livejournal is for fannish masturbation while wearing a mask. Get it right, Powers-That-Be-novs.
