I suspect even current gen AI can see right through that. Even those closest to these technologies would probably say they don’t understand their true capabilities yet.
All hail our machine overlords!

I don’t think anyone here is unjustly being harsh, just processing how they feel. I stand by all of my comments and i think i’ve been fair with what i’ve said. And if he wanted to participate here i’d be happy to have him around.

Paging sysadmin @orenwolf .
You are greatly admired but there are questions (which you may or or may not be able to answer).

People over there are being way harsher than anything I’ve seen here.

You mean we should change our names here, those of us who have not done so? 
Might be a good idea…

I too would welcome Ken here with open arms, i don’t blame him personally for how this was done and how casually it seemed like the community was trashed. I can well imagine how difficult it is for him to see that place get shuttered after years of nurturing it.

Mine’s different here because I didn’t like my name over there, which was made pre-transition.

I decided to be quiet at the BSS and Substack instead of complain, it’s better for my mental health to just worry about my own shit. Especially considering the current political events, i just can’t right now so having this place here is really helping me cope.

My guess is that the man is indescribably busy right now.
I’ve done data migrations, and the one he is facing ATM is plenty complex, and he is still taking time out to periodically post over at The Other Place to answer some user questions.
My guess is that if he is going to answer your page, it may not be any time soon.
Please be advised there are other bOINGbOING authors etc. who likewise have account(s) on Elsewhere. I am not entirely sure just how “free” Ken could or would feel, to express himself, here.

I stopped posting there on Monday and wasn’t going to look anymore, but habits are hard to break that that place meant a lot to me. It’s sad being there now

I 100% feel the same. I find myself opening the BBS and the homepage, refreshing, staring at it and just… being reminded that i don’t need to be doing that any more. It’s been hard.

Exactly the same.
But then I got worried about having my photos, comments etc. all over the site.
Then I got less worried as no-one knew who I was anyway.
Then I realised that the BB was truly fucked and there was no way I was going back there anyway.
Then, I asked Ken to anonymise me.
And then, of course, we have here.

I logged back in to try and disable email notifications and saw that. It mostly looks like he is trying to get topics for his journalisms. It ends with this:
No community forums?? I’m shocked!

Some writers “borrow” more than others, even those viewed as rather heroic.

I’ve wanted to change mine for a while. It stems from a geocities page I maintained for a commercial kitchenware site back in the '90s, and since I’m lazy I just kept the email and handle from that endeavor. Easy to remember.
But what should I change it to? I’m open to suggestions (wrong answers only please!)

Something Irish but not too Irish for the English system to handle?
