BoingBoing move to substack

Overall its probably a good idea. If we cant create new posts then anonymization is probably for the best.

I had no idea there were nazi bars in subsā€™s bldg, and given the $h!t Iā€™m going thru trying to log in, post, and view othersā€™ replies, my optimism is departing.

I donā€™t want my name associated with Substack. Anonymising should remove me from being Topic author, too.

Fuck 'em.

I havenā€™t gotten a reply to my request to anonymize :confused: it makes sense, Iā€™m sure Orenwolf is busy. But I would like to know heā€™s got a list going

There were a few people who really showed their true colors in the misogyny kerfluffle last year. They might already be members here so Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ll name names, but I wouldnā€™t be comfortable with a general invite.

Just my $0.02.

ETA: Did a quick search and didnā€™t find the ones I was worried about. Still, probably better to keep the invites to known good actors.

I just requested anonymization over there too. I want no part of supporting substack. Itā€™s bad enough some of the content I am interested in is over there (e.g. erininthemorning) but I refuse to support it if I can help it.

And since most of the reason Iā€™m even still on BB are among the people in this thread, I no longer want to be associated. Iā€™ve been reading BB since 2003, and I mourn its loss. But if Iā€™m honest, I havenā€™t even really read the blog in a few years.The AI posts and authors of dubious reality and unknown motives posting increasingly reactionary stuff has definitely not helped my thoughts on the place either.

Iā€™m so glad this place exists so I donā€™t lose touch with yā€™all!

(I was known as AnnaTheWeird over there in case anyeone is wondering who I am)

It would be so much easier for me were my brains not so damned scrambled. Iā€™m efficient AF at shit like that when Iā€™m OK. I could get thru that list of 100 in a matter of minutes. ā€œYes. Yes. Yes! Yes. No.ā€

Oh, and I better not get in trouble for my Detroit accent here. I saw a local punk bandā€™s singer checking a mic at a show by repeating, ā€œFuck, shit; fuck, shit;ā€ and no one even looked up.

Hell, Iā€™m from and in Detroit, so itā€™s fine with me. We know when to speak properly, and when to call a motherfucker a motherfucker, so we should be good. :rofl: :joy: :rofl:
