I am pretty sure Jeff doesn’t want people to only comment on FB, the last sentence appears to be an artifact of how crossposting with LW works. On his website the post actually says:
Not really sure how to best fix this. I’ve been wanting to figure out how to properly propagate edits from RSS feeds, but I haven’t gotten around to that.
I’d love it if edits in the RSS feed propagated to posts; when have typo fixes I need to do them in both places.
Don’t want to clobber any changes made through the LW UI though. Maybe something like refreshing the post from RSS on changes, but only if there aren’t local edits? Automatically merging when there’s no conflict would be spiffy, but probably not worth it.
Though “pull in RSS updates” isn’t the best fix for the problem that my posts here currently end with “Comment via: facebook”. I could make a LW-specific RSS feed that didn’t include that note. This would also let me filter out “Update” entries, which don’t make sense here either.

My guess is the current flow for Jeff is:
Post to his blog
Go to LessWrong, grab the link from the crosspost
Edit the post on his blog to include a link to LW

Yup, that’s my flow!

Well, in that case at least it would say “Comment via facebook, LW”, which is a bit less confusing.
