After about a day, LJ staff respond: http://news.livejournal.com/129190.html?thread=87522726#t87522726

Although, most of the feedback says the same thing, so I'm not sure why they needed to take so long to respond.

The LJ staffer in the above quote is directing people towards a poll on thequestionclub: http://community.livejournal.com/thequestionclub/86168785.html

An LJ user has also made an unofficial comm and put a poll on it too: http://community.livejournal.com/eljayfeedback/515.html

So far, there are 5000+ comments on the news post.

*raies eyebrow* ... there are so many commenters in the comm (eta: and by that I mean thequestionclub) going "But my friends would never do this! So it doesn't concern me!"

Apparently their friends never make mistakes because the key command for "post entry" (or preview?) is now the key command for crossposting to FB.

I just...one doesn't have to assume people are untrustworthy or malicious, just recognize that errors happen.

True! Also, sometimes friends don't actually stay friends for ever and ever, or people happen to misjudge each other.

Yeah.

And the power of habit is strong. I can't tell you have many times the "undo send" button in Gmail has saved me. Mess with people's habits and more mistakes will happen, and there's no "undo" button on LJ (or DW...I actually kind of like the idea of an "undo comment" button with a short grace period, now that I think about it).
