BoingBoing move to substack

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

Is it ok if I just list the folks I’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 you’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: It’s all so sad.

I thought long and hard about what I enjoyed about BB. Decided it wasn’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 haven’t posted since December of last year.

She was one of the ones I was thinking I’d not seen.

I’ll add the others I’m thinking of here. Please, everyone, if I’m missing some friction that would make you uncomfortable, DM me and I’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 I’m missing a lot of good people…

So glad you’re here!

[Edited] It’s not for me to invite people when I’ve only been here a short while myself, but I’ll show support for others’ 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 I’m not seeing him in the users list. Knox is here.

Got it, thanks to you and @MerelyGifted for the feedback.

Sally’s excellent. Meant to say so.

Same here; I went the extra step and swapped the payment method that’s required for even the free trial (grumbles) for a blatantly dead card that will absolutely decline if they don’t honor me canceling the sub and deleting my SuS account.

Well, I was thinking more that I’d like to keep the name, just divorce it from what will essentially be a dead site (but we don’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.

How is it pronounced now?

I always read it as 'Nuke ā€˜em All’: Nuke M L
