I'm officially a #mefite again since I don't have to post as a sockpuppet with pervazette questions or my deadname. New #Metafilter profile at http://www.metafilter.com/user/256607
@ikea_femme I was still going to stal...err...follow you, #mefite or not. I have considered a new MeFi account, but I refuse to give up my sub-14K user number.
@RexfordGTugwell @ikea_femme I did NOT know you were a MeFite until I finally checked your profile.
@Samizdata @RexfordGTugwell There's a unicode symbol for transgender, there's a unicode extension for the pride flag, but no unicode emoji for Best of the Web at @mathowie's community blog
@ikea_femme @mathowie @RexfordGTugwell Not @mathowie 's anymore. I do believe it is technically the property of @cortex nowadays.
@Samizdata @ikea_femme @mathowie Cortex runs the joint, but Matt is still the owner.
@RexfordGTugwell @ikea_femme @mathowie Wow. I misread THAT post.
@Samizdata @RexfordGTugwell @mathowie ssssshhh the #mefi experience is nostalgia for a web before corporations got all rowdy and rebuilt aol.
@ikea_femme @Samizdata @mathowie This is when I get on my high horse about "best of the web" being officially deprecated like a decade ago. :smile:
@RexfordGTugwell @ikea_femme @mathowie <moves out of the way to avoid being trampled>
@Samizdata I was assigned in the neighborhood of 60K at birth. But I transitioned to 256607 and I feel I can learn to love these new digits. The sixes are lovely twins, flanked by a rugged five and huggable zero, for one.
@Samizdata @ikea_femme It's ridiculous, but it slightly bothers me that I *just* missed getting a 4-digit user number.
