For clarity, will BB shop posts be cross-posted to the Substack? Some of us still mostly interact through the RSS feed, and they do pop up there.

Look, before I say goodbye for good, or subscribe, I do want to say this is the one social media I have felt most at home in. And I do feel this is a good case of “if you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.” Yeah, Substack has a racist/fascist problem. It subtracts from my experience reading Heather Cox...

I haven’t been posting much recently, but it was still my favourite online community. I don’t believe it will be anything like this on Substack, and it’s sad to see it end. I wouldn’t mind paying, but killing off BBS means that it will not be worth paying for, and supporting platform such as Substack would feel unethical. Thanks to all the wonderful people...

Flanker7: (fyi, whoever it is is using the patio door to get in and out) And then what? Through the hinged full-length looking glass in the bathroom? The TV wall which is operated through a combination of buttons on the remote? By going through the back of the wardrobe and avoiding the fauns, lions and witches? Through the wall between platforms 9 and 10?

Whatever the reasons why this had to be, it feels like a death. Because it is one. The community which exists here cannot exist on Substack for any number of technical and logistical reasons, even if large numbers of people didn’t have issues with it in its own right, which they do. Many people won’t go there. Many others can’t. When this BBS goes...

I’m staying here, reading the blog and BBS, till the end. This is not the first online community that I’ve stayed with until they were busy unplugging the hardware and turning out the lights. It also will not be the last. I’m happy to pay if the new community is sufficiently similar in size, activity, and diversity, but that is not proven yet. Also...

I’ve had some interesting conversations here and learnt a lot from many different people. I hope that my net contribution, small as it is, has also been overall positive. Seems like all good things must come to an end.

Given the general tenor of the comments here (which I’m in accord with), I don’t see how BB itself will survive this change. Thanks for the community. Tomorrow to fresh woods, and pastures new.
