Here’s a worrying thought: Univision’s other properties all use Discus. One the one hand, you don’t have to license Kinja. On the other, it’s Kinja. If comments went to Discus, I’m not sure if sub-blogs like Oppo could continue to exist. 

ETA: Oh, never mind. Apparently AV Club is transitioning to Kinja. God, I cannot wait to see everyone there freak the fuck out. It’ll be like a new Dawes album release.

oh boo fucking hoo. Gawker’s “editorial bite” came from a complete lack of any sense of ethics or decency. people working for the company knew who they were working for and what they were expected to do, so they can go whine elsewhere.

I’d much rather have seen the whole thing shuttered and bossy shitwipes like Nolan and Hongo collecting unemployment.

This is the reason I posted this to see the great replies. You are correct in there being no moral or ethical compass and that how they got in the mess that cause the sale.

Disqus isn’t bad if all you need is a plugin for comments. OTOH, it doesn’t seem meant for user-generated content so yeah, I don’t think Oppo could exist within it.

Yes, seems like there are still some ongoing changes.

The Univision-owned AV Club and Onion websites are expected to migrate over to Kinja during the slower summer months,

Hmm. Prep your comments sections!

We have been constantly worried about Kinja but today I had a vertical picture post properly instead of go portrait mode. Maybe somebody out there is noticing some of the issues.

..... And yet you’re still here. If you don’t like it, you can leave.

He’s here because Gawker bought Jalopnik. If they hadn’t bought Jalopnik, none of us would be here.

I wouldn’t call what Gawker wrote as “fearless journalism”

I also wondered about that wording.

Build a wall and make Univision pay for it.

No, Gawker started Jalopnik. Just back then all of the sister sites weren’t quite so integrated, so it wasn’t obvious.
