On this twitter / facebook reposting thing.

[redhillian]

Firstly, I'd rather people didn't repost stuff between my LJ and there - and there are some filters wherein the discussion is contained to that entry. If you're on those filters, you know about it and understand why.

Secondly, if you'd like remove the option to repost stuff from LJ, it is possible to partially do it through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) - the code to do so appears to be:

.b-repost-item, #repost_twitter, #repost_facebook{display:none;}

and the place to put it is in the Custom Stylesheet box at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml?group=customcss.

(with noted thanks to a more experienced user I randomly met)

I don't have a twitter account that LJ is aware of. Am I safe?

Were you planning to repost stuff to your twitter from LJ?

From what I see of it, it's something that you have to consciously do.

You are safe from LJ magically gaining the knowledge of your twitter account and tweeting every time you make an LJ post.

You are not safe from someone making a comment on a post on you LJ, and publishing a link to that comment on Facebook or Twitter. Even if the post in question is friendslocked, if they can comment on the post they can publish that link to Twitter/Facebook. I don't know how much information goes with the link, and I'd assume the link still won't allow unauthorised folk to read the whole thing, but it's definitely not ideal.
