The latest LJ news post informs us of the Explore LJ feature. In their own words, ’...recent public posts are analyzed electronically and then placed into the areas where they best fit, if there is indeed such an area.’
The good news is that it won’t feature your locked/private posts. The bad news is that your public posts are already up for grabs unless you opt out of ‘Explore Area Exclusion.’
As for communities, the ability of each post to be grabbed is up to the individual poster; there’s no ‘opt out’ function for community maintainers.
::sigh::
So anyway, who wants to see a balding, middle-aged comedian gracefully demonstrate the ‘Evolution Of Dance? If it were David Hewlett, I wouldn’t be able to watch it because of my squick factor. But because I don’t know this guy, I’m quite comfortable with enjoying his talent.
