BoingBoing move to substack

For anyone who cares, the BB chat (which was pretty worthless anyway) on the SuS site has been disabled. You can just comment on BB posts. :man_shrugging:

I popped over there briefly a few times and never even noticed the chat.

I think it was only mr_raccoon commenting, and a couple of people complaining about AI images.

There were few tech support questions too.

And very few comments on the main page articles. Possibly the death throes of the site.

Also very few likes… Ok it’s behind a paywall.

Likes and comments are an indication of how many subscriptions there are, which says that there are precious few.

There could be enough subscriptions but if engagement is low i would still find that concerning. Though to be honest my field of fucks is barren and i have none to give.

I found two posts that had 30 likes, one with 26 and hand full with over 10 likes but substack sucks at showing top posts.

It’s hard to compere with other paid substacks and I don’t know of other ones that post as much as TOP posts.

Also TOP has 20k+ subs…

My free sub is still extant it seems and when I read someone’s comment the other day (while it showed I was logged in - it must never log a person out) I tried to like a comment and it just did nothing. Very low engagement ain’t gonna get better with that sort of idiocy. But as @Grey_Devil suggests, my fuck harvest is going elsewhere.

You’ve tried to go fuck shopping but fucks were left to buy?
You’ve rallied your fuck army but is been fucking defeated?

Oh the humanity.

Having abandoned TOP 7 years ago I feel like a friend I haven’t seen in that long has died. Sad.

(ETA: Oops - sorry @kxkvi )

Or is it ‘Oh, the fuckity!’? (As in ‘fuckity fuckity fuck fuck’ when things go wrong.)
