BoingBoing move to substack

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

Did we settle on a way to handle invites? I lost the thread a bit. Iā€™m missing a few familiar folks and I want to ensure theyā€™re aware of this place but I donā€™t want to overextend and invite someone who may have friction points Iā€™m not aware of with the people who have already made the leap.

Is it ok if I just list the folks Iā€™m thinking of and anyone with concerns can DM me?

Damned cat ā€œhelpedā€ me hit reply before I was ready!

I associate you with gardening, brewing, and kindness. In my head youā€™re a big gentle dude

Have you considered a shift-2 alphabet cipher on just the capitalized letters?

(no idea why that popped into my head, but it was the first thing that did)

I deleted the two posts I made over at SuS. I edited my profile there back to what it was before the BB migration. Cosmetically my SuS presence no longer resembles Wayward. Feeble attempt, I know, but :woman_shrugging: Itā€™s all so sad.

I thought long and hard about what I enjoyed about BB. Decided it wasnā€™t the front page posts and I feel icky enough reading Wonkette, Erininthemorning, and HCR on SuS. Deleted the account I had made with the bribery-invite
Plus it really ticked me off how many different places I had to opt out of emails. I wanted just HCR and nothing else but to do that I had to opt out of a bunch of things in my settings and then again for each stack. Even then the damned thing signed me up for some daily-whatever stack to push more contact. Email notifications beyond PMs should all be opt in. Never is, but should be

Has anyone messaged VeronicaConnor? I always valued their posts over there but they havenā€™t posted since December of last year.

She was one of the ones I was thinking Iā€™d not seen.

Iā€™ll add the others Iā€™m thinking of here. Please, everyone, if Iā€™m missing some friction that would make you uncomfortable, DM me and Iā€™ll not issue an invite.

I was thinking VeronicaConnor, Euansmith, Knoxblox, and Sally_Mahoney were the familiar faces that came to mind as being absent. I am confident Iā€™m missing a lot of good peopleā€¦

So glad youā€™re here!

[Edited] Itā€™s not for me to invite people when Iā€™ve only been here a short while myself, but Iā€™ll show support for othersā€™ candidates, if it helps.

Knoxblox knows about this and already has an account. Just busy with stuff right now.

I thought Euan had made it over here, but Iā€™m not seeing him in the users list. Knox is here.

Sallyā€™s excellent. Meant to say so.

Same here; I went the extra step and swapped the payment method thatā€™s required for even the free trial (grumbles) for a blatantly dead card that will absolutely decline if they donā€™t honor me canceling the sub and deleting my SuS account.

Well, I was thinking more that Iā€™d like to keep the name, just divorce it from what will essentially be a dead site (but we donā€™t officially know if it will rise from the dead).

May everyone find their ā€œfun sizedā€ to be proper fun on Halloween this year!

I always read your name as ā€œNuke Me Later.ā€
Perhaps change it to ā€œNukeMN,ā€ for ā€œNuke Me Now?ā€
Easy to remember anyway.
