In which Dreamwidth Gets It

[unixronin]

Privacy and trust, that is.  This is excerpted from denise's response to discussion of LiveJournal's Facebook/Twitter crossposting 'feature':

Sorry, sophie let me know that my original comment was a little unclear: I should say, if we do allow crossposting of comments, it will be only available on public entries or when you comment on your own locked entries, not somebody else's.  (I think that's a lot easier than people having to go turn on/off the ability for others to crosspost comments on their locked entries!)

Your privacy is absolutely one of our Guiding Principles, and since I've been working in social media since before social media was called social media, I've got a really strong grasp of what 'privacy' entails, especially in the use case of those who use DW most frequently!  Besides that, I've got a lot of people (starting with mark and fu and going allllll the way on down) who'd come find me with the Mallet of Loving Correction (+5) if I made bad decisions about this. *G* We absolutely believe it's possible to merge interoperability and privacy, as long as we put the choices in your hands, and that's not going to change.

(We also are beholden to nobody but you guys. Paid account subscriptions are the only way we make money, so there is zero economic incentive for us to piss y'all off!)

Dreamwidth just picked up a WHOOOOOOLE lot of new paid users for whom this was just one LiveJournal fuckup too many.  I remind those of you on my LJ Friends list that I have a large, shiny pile of Dreamwidth invite codes to hand out.

Oh, and did I mention that I have Dreamwidth invite codes to distribute?

Good.  Because I'd hate to forget to mention the Dreamwidth invite codes.
