well, I cannot speak for everyone but most people I talked with, argued with, disagreed with and laughed with seems to already have moved here. So except for the fact that this uses night mode instead of day mode themeā¦ seems nothing much has changed.
Looking forward to talk, argue, disagree, laugh and be roasted again with you all

Youāre right; I should have been more explicit in my message. Let me try again.
āIf anyone has any objections to my inviting this person please DM me sometime soon so I can invite them before the BBBBS goes read-only.ā

Iām going to go out on a limb and guess a lot of those ānew subscribersā are those of us they gave free lifetime subscriptions to. I just checked the new site, and most stories have no likes and no comments. I saw only one with more than 5 comments. The level of engagement seems to be minimal. Maybe thatās what they wanted, although I canāt understand what the point of that would be. Oh, and one of the wonderful new posts is an interview by Thom Dunn with an AI chatbot version of Linda Lovelace. Yeahā¦Iām done with BB.

If youāre looking for a place to have a conversation with a bit more privacy, might I suggest #the-clubhouse?
Anyone with TL2 or above should be able to participate. The down side of that is that all of the newly created accounts are not yet TL2.
The other option would be to take it to a relatively massive PM, but that might be cumbersome and unwelcome by those that donāt want to participate.

Yeah I was surprised to see Thom Dunn attached to that. I thought he was better than that.

IDKā¦ some of the new writers areā¦ weird. Likeā¦ I cannot say for sure but basically if you told me that Popkin, Lee Keeler, Thom Dunn and Ellsworth Toohey are AI generated personas to fill the gaps between the real editors, I would believe you.
