BoingBoing move to substack

I initially had a negative opinion of him a few years ago, but that changed over the last few years since.

I’m good with inviting him.

Is there anyone on the decenial list who we wouldn’t want to invite over here? If they’ve managed not to get themselves banned at the other place for over a decade, that’s already a bit of a filter, isn’t it.

But as I’ve said before, moderation clean up tends to happen when I’m not online, so I don’t even see the offending posts. I’ve felt like the “did I miss anything” owl quite a few times.

We all good with Gilbertwham, since he got an invite back in the day?

And should we have one point person for sending a DM about inviting these folks?

[ETA] Also, @the_borderer should be here already (she has an account, but I don’t know if she’s logged in a for a while… someone might want to mention it to her and she if she plans to migrate over here…

Kentb? He seems to do mostly food thread. But what food!
bakeneko always has the prettiest cat pictures, good insight on Brazil, and respectful
catsidhe has taught me a lot about neurodivergence

The decennial list is a lot longer than I’d realized.

Of all the things I’m mourning about losing in the move-- and there are more than I expected-- not being able to hit my 10-year anniversary there is a big one. I was soooo close, it would have happened in January. :cry:

Oh, so it is. Well, what about the 64 on the DM thread just for starters? Is there anyone on there who’s not here already and is a hoopy frood?

That seems ok. Maybe anyone here can invite anyone on the bribery list if they feel so inclined. No one there I object to.
Went ahead and sent floridamanjefe a link over here.

I would humbly ask that flanker7 not be invited here, after they had the nerve to post this in the public announcement thread:

They’re telling us who they are, and it ain’t pretty.

I’m good with the other suggestions here, they all seem cool.

Wow. Gonna second that. Yuck

Edit to add: good thing you linked it. Post went poof

The borderer for sure. I’m terrible with names, but if i think of any I’ll chime in.

Now that the announcement has been made public, it’s interesting to see the reaction. It’s largely negative and some responses have been “interesting” to say the least.

I’ve definitely been sparing with my invites here over the years because I want this to stay a safe place and under the radar. I’ll be keeping an eye out for folks who should be here but aren’t.

I think @awfulhorrid is a hoopy frood, and was here before, maybe they will come back around.

I was just thinking about them. I was gonna send a DM reminding them that many of us are here. ETA DM sent.

I did, and then messaged Orenwolf to anonymize me.

Oh, Hi all.

Took a break from Yonder due to ill health and school, and sort of got out of the habit.

My plan was to come back once I thought of a suitably smashing entrance line, but I discovered that “sweating intensifies” was already taken.

I’m gonna request anonymization at the old place, too, but later in the week. So if people already have done so, and you want me to say something while still there, let me know.

I think I will on Thursday, as it goes Read Only on Friday.
