I'm pretty sure this is an awful idea.

Well, at least it makes x-posting fic easier? Maybe?

LOL BUT LIKE

okay I don't haev notifications on for most things, so maybe if there is a notification for this they defaulted me to not receive it. But as far as I can tell there isn't one? Wtf? If someone is going around reposting my posts word for word I'd like to know. And yes, I mean, they could copy/paste and do it anyway, but lj doesn't need to make it easier for them.

Also if I wanted Tumblr I would join Tumblr.

*steeples fingers* You seem to have a lot of feelings about this.

No, I agree, it's pointless and weird because LJ is not Tumblr and why would anyone want this feature?

I am, however, still waiting for LJ to give me a "like" button for my fic.

Has there been a

news post about this? If so, I totally didn't read it. Whoops.

How would this work with flocked things?

_thirty2flavors on May 27th, 2011 03:44 pm (UTC)

IDK, I was just about to investigate. Michelle told me about it.

I am not sure, I haven't tried that yet. I am hoping the answer is "it doesn't".

I'm pretty sure this was implemented and discussed in the news post sometime in the fall of 2010. I remember commenting on it. I believe there's an opt-out option somewhere. I can't remember where.

As far as I know you can't repost flocked content. Only public entries.

hmmm I was going to post a comedy Damon gif but I don't know which one to use bc I have not decided on a reaction yet

How do you even reblog on LJ, I don't see any new buttons or whatever. Is it just for ~paid members

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

_thirty2flavors on May 27th, 2011 03:47 pm (UTC)

lol I will wait for your reaction when you decide

There's a "share" button", and then from there you can select "liivejournal" and it opens a new post with the code and stuff all ready to go~. IDKif it's for paid members or not.

I just looked and it's part of the "share" menu. Which used to just insert a link to the original post into whatever venue you wanted to share it on, but now it seems to just copypasta the whole post.

I am waiting for lj to come up with a "block" feature that is as easy and satisfying as Tumblr's.

WAIT SO I NO LONGER HAVE TO GO TO TUMBLR TO SPEND HOURS REBLOGGING STUFF?

I am not sure how I feel about this convergence in my fandom life.

_thirty2flavors on May 27th, 2011 03:58 pm (UTC)

BUT I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO REBLOG THE SAME VAMPIRE DIARIES GIF NINETY TIMES ON MY FLIST

LJ, WHY

...Wait, there's a reblogging feature?!

I'm sure this feature is going to crash and burn.

LJ has a reblog feature now???

I mean, I enjoy my tumblr and I'm unashamed of enjoying all the pretty over there, but here?

shinyopals on May 27th, 2011 04:57 pm (UTC)

If LJ becomes tumblr I AM MOVING TO DREAMWIDTH. I LIKE LJ FOR THE TALKING AND STUFF. EVEN WHEN PEOPLE HAVE WRONG OPINIONS.

Also, they need to give you an option to disable this. And a separate notifications thing. And put the posts in a blockquote box or something.

captaintish on May 27th, 2011 05:03 pm (UTC)

There's a reblog feature now? Oh, LJ, why are you trying to be something you're not?

Like others have said in the comments, LJ is awesome for being able to have conversations with people. Tumblr is fine for what it is, but what it is is basically a place to look at pretty pictures. LJ and Tumblr are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. *sigh*

A TRAVESTY

though apparently it's existed for a while and no one uses it so I guess we're safe

You can click the "share" link and then select "livejournal" and it lets you make a post identical to whatever post you're sharing. In this case I was ~reblogging~ my post at Doctor/Rose fix to test it.

beck_liz on May 29th, 2011 07:08 pm (UTC)

I was trying to figure out where the reblog option even was, and finally figured out it's that new plus-sign button. Ew. Do not want. There's a reason I'm not on Tumblr, and I only put up with re-tweets on Twitter because they seem to have worked out how not to spam you with multiples.
