Bye Kinja (looks like we can't post gifs as thumbnails)

God what a mess of an editor, good riddance. At least my posts actually post here (whether y'all like it or not).

So weird to have pictures just work... and not require 2-5 attempts to upload a post.

I'll still miss it...as glitchy as it was, it worked really well for the type of community we had.

@rallydarkstrike there are some things I will miss, like automatic thumbnails, gifs as thumbnails (hint hint ).

I tried to post a long form thought there a couple weeks ago (before the announcement that it was all going away) and it just would not post. I had it saved in a word document and tried posting it from different computers, no dice.

It was pretty deflating and I ended up giving up. And that's just one example. The reliability of this site over Kinja is already encouraging me to post more.

Kinja (when it wasn't broken) and I actually got along really well. Maybe that's because I'm a desktop user who gave up on Kinja mobile a long time ago...

My last view

@racinbob this is history now !

@rallydarkstrike Yeah. I already miss the bloggier layout and the more condensed text on desktop (whole lotta scrollin' here), but it sounded like that was in the works the last time I looked over here.

I like the simplicity of the editor here, though. That was one of Kinja's biggest pluses. Other CMSes I've used are a hot damn mess.

@racinbob I stepped away for 15 minutes and came back to it being gone. It's definitely a bummer
