BoingBoing move to substack

No worries. We’re pretty relaxed around here. I try to keep my inner taxonomist suppressed. He’s so controversial.

It’s a decent chat app. I was mostly alluding to the part where they tried to shoehorn a forum interface into it, and it does absolutely nothing for me. It’s also a centrally managed platform that will ultimately fail it’s users like so many others.

It’s not the most important ballot anyone’s going to be involved with in the next week, but it’s probably the one you’ll have the most direct impact in.

I suspect it won’t be once they switch to ready-only. That’s intended for certain maintenance tasks. I’ve used it before when I needed to make a backup to restore to a new instance. Since anonymizing posts requires rewriting the DB, I don’t know how that could work when the DB is read-only. I’ve never tested it, though.
