BoingBoing move to substack

It’s been a habit for many years for me to check the site and BBS, at this point i might as well play out that compulsion to it’s logical end because i’m certainly not planning to check Substack in any meaningful way.

Thanks for capturing that. It was gone almost instantly, as I was typing the following:

“I’m coming to the late realization that Happy Fun Ball is not as happy or fun as we were led to believe by the commercial. Probably not much of a ball, either.”

I admire your courage… but that was a big risk, and I’m guessing with the move underway there’s not a ton of patience or restraint left from TPTB.

We weren’t given a time for when the switch is gonna get flipped, just the date, so it could happen at any moment. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I thought it would happen around 9 AM because that’s midnight in US West coast.

I’ve cried a little for days, man, but you made me actually bawl.

All needed healing to all of us.

You are excluded from my proposal on what to do with Substack’s servers. You seem nice.

Hey Ken. Hope you feel welcomed here despite the circumstances and the heightened emotions from everyone. I mean that, you’ve done a lot for us and I really admire that. Please take time to treat yourself kindly

I saw that, and I like that a lot. I know I’m further to the left now than I was when I arrived, and the BBS had a lot to do with that.
