Words are inadequate

Been thinking about this, and what I've come up with is that it boils down to "commenters own their own words" versus "original poster owns the space." And the way they've set up the crossposter prioritizes the commenter's words over the OP's space and privacy. I disagree pretty strongly with that prioritization.

Basically: any time I xpost a comment made to one of your locked entries, I've just alerted the entire world that you've made a locked post (and provided the URL), and given them whatever context is available from my comment. Which I think of as a Bad Thing.

And it's painfully easy to slip up. It's already easy to miss the lock icon if you're half asleep, but at least before you had to go to the trouble of manually copying your comment elsewhere. With this, all it takes is a single checkbox, and suddenly all my FB friends know you've been complaining about being massively overworked-- and maybe even some details about your workplace.

Crossposting: heck, I'm guilty of it as well, especially for your reason #1. And I think your gametweets provide enough context to figure out what's going on. It's a pretty benign case of xposting. :)
