No panic - no-one is here to linkshame you.

Yes, indeed true. When the giphy plugin came along it just made it easier to find the right one rather than trawling through a huge thread. Also there is a past me looking on with abject horror and judgement that future me needs gifs to react to something. Fuck you, past me!

And yeah i do miss having easy access to gifs while on PC, but i can fix that by opening a separate tab and looking for gifs on a search engine. On my phone i can get access to the gif feature on my keyboard i dont know if they embed into my posts and i’m currently too lazy to check. Maybe later.

By the way is there a meme thread?

I wasn’t aware that was a thing. I always just go to giphy and then come back and paste a link.
If you think it’s something we could benefit from, feel free to create a proposal and put it up for a vote in the #site-feedback category.

There are several, I believe. Here’s one:
My favorite is this one, though:

It is, but I think the most important thing is that the interface facilitates communication. I’d have been happy to learn a new interface (putting aside the entire Nazi bar aspect- funny how any hypothetical future where the BoingBoing community persisted on SuS requires ignoring that elephant in the room), if it had equal or enhanced functionality. But a comment system where you have to click back and forth to see more than one comment deep, where you can’t even italicize, let alone post images and links… that’s a comment system that actively discourages communication and participation, a system that exists as a grudging afterthought rather than a feature to attract and retain users. Notably, it also discourages fact checking, as nobody can cite sources easily.

Welcome to all new and returning members!
I’ve been weaving in and out of all of the threads as I can, but I wanted to post something a bit more formal, and this seemed like a pretty good place to do it.
I’m @LockeCJ. I had that name over at BB, but I haven’t been active there in quite a while. I keep things running here, but I do not run things, per se. I’m doing my best to solicit feedback from the community on any decisions that seem important enough, but I’m always trying to improve.
That said, I am (pretty much) the sole administrator and only moderator here currently. I’m doing my best to keep up with the influx of new users, and so far everything is going fine, but I wanted to set expectations appropriately. I’m just one person, so please be patient. If you’re waiting on something from me, please don’t interpret that as me ignoring you, I’m probably just running behind, or doing something else. I’ll do my best to get to it as soon as I reasonably can.
Please do reach out if you need anything, and I hope you all can find this place a good community to be a part of.

I used to do that as well but it is incredibly useful to just have it right there in the chat box, it’s a luxury to have though.
Again, thanking you kindly for keeping this sanctuary going and a welcome home for lost souls.

Hi again everybody!
These last two days it’s taken all my energy keeping up with the two threads back at the other place (the public announcement thread and the DM). I’m just too curious to leave there before it’s all done…
Glad to see so many people over here! 
Not sure how much I’ll post here, as I’ve recently been thinking of spending more time offline, but glad to have a place to land!
