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 subs’s bldg, and given the $h!t I’m going thru trying to log in, post, and view others’ replies, my optimism is departing.

I don’t want my name associated with Substack. Anonymising should remove me from being Topic author, too.

Fuck 'em.

I haven’t gotten a reply to my request to anonymize :confused: it makes sense, I’m sure Orenwolf is busy. But I would like to know he’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 I’m not sure I’ll name names, but I wouldn’t be comfortable with a general invite.

Just my $0.02.

ETA: Did a quick search and didn’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. It’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 I’m even still on BB are among the people in this thread, I no longer want to be associated. I’ve been reading BB since 2003, and I mourn its loss. But if I’m honest, I haven’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.

I’m so glad this place exists so I don’t lose touch with y’all!

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

Like many others, no doubt, I was thrilled and grateful! you’d created those, and immediately applied 'em.

It would be so much easier for me were my brains not so damned scrambled. I’m efficient AF at shit like that when I’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 band’s singer checking a mic at a show by repeating, ā€œFuck, shit; fuck, shit;ā€ and no one even looked up.

Hell, I’m from and in Detroit, so it’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:
