Being one of the second group, not for any reasons other than that my journal is my private place to share with the people I allow there - I am amazingly miffed over this.
Because unlike DW, LJ also doesn't give you the option to 'subscribe' to interesting journals that you want to read, but don't necessarily want to give access to your own things. And frankly, trying to remember which custom privacy group to use for things is tedious. So there are people who I have 'friended' for reasons other than to allow access to my musings, and I'd prefer to keep watching them be interesting.
Also, given how they appear to have structured the settings for this (based on what I've read so far), the potential for accidentally crossposting a private entry is reasonably high. This may be erroneous information.
No - I've seen nothing to allow people to lock their journals against this. I'd also like the damned ticky boxes and 'helpful hints' to go away.
My ire may be compounded by the fact that I am actually passionately opposed to FB, in a truly violent kind of way. T I can see might have its uses - but I am so far unconvinced, and can't see why people can't deal with NOT having either connected to EVERYTHING!
Ah well, I may be a minority, but I'm an angry, annoyed and aggravated minority.
