Updated info on the follows, per Ernie:

We’ll be amongst the first or last to die?

You too, eh? This makes me nervous. I had the same thing happen to me 8 minutes ago. If I don’t make it.... tell my friends to format the hard drive on my computer.

It means that someone at Univision saw all the “grey” comments and thought it was ridiculous.

I suspect they’re merging the follow lists with their FP’s because it makes very little sense for them to have a different set for each vert. I have no basis for this belief.

“Dog.” Really???? LOLOLOLOL

You’ve never read any of Dog’s posts? They're actually pretty funny. The account was the pet project (pun intended) of one of the Gawker main page authors, but I forget who.

I never understood why they kept “Dog” around, while dumping useful ones like The Vane.

Does that mean if we piss off one blog, we’re grey on all of them?

Meh, I never go off Oppo anyway...

Good catch!

I follow the Kinja Product blog, but I don’t use Twitter, so I totally missed that until you posted.

I think this updated “follow logic” is a pretty good change.

Should I take note. Is this the start of the Church of Ernie? May we all be healed! Can I have an Amen?

Thanks be to Ernie. He's always been good about keeping us in the loop.

I have not been getting many follows from sub blogs that already follow me. Is it possible to be ungrayed on Jezebel without being followed?

Xyl0c41n3 > yamahog 08/25/2016 at 16:15

Does this mean I shouldn’t hit “publish” on the additional three drafts I've got saved right now?

This explains why I didn’t get any follows today. I wasn’t followed on any of the main pages. Hmph.

Well that really does mean I’m ghosted on Jez. My posts show up black, but can’t be seen.

Even if you hit “all replies” and “show pending”?

Yup. Only people who follow me can see them, and I’m not grey when I post. Last time this happened Rebecca Rose told me to just email and someone would fix it. But nobody has.

Can’t we just do away with this silly approval process altogether?

Yes. I got greyed on Jalopnik for some reason, and now I’m grey on everything.

Burt hasn't been a part of Jez for a while. Maybe send an email to kinja help? (But mayhaps not today since they seem to be super busy with all this). It kinda sounds like you're banned, except typically when you're banned your comments show up grey, even to yourself.

Why did Gizmodo follow me tho? That's the real mystery here.

You followed for io9?

I’ve tried a few times. To Jez writers and kinjahelp. Kinjahelp says it looks fine and Jez writers I assume think I’m just another asshole. So I pretty much stopped reading it.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

Although I never figured out how I got that follow in the first place, sames for Lifehacker but I'm there for skillet.

I knew about Cats , but not about Dogs, but if that’s a Gawker.com subsite, will it still be around? There’s no posts there past 8/11.

You could always leave a note in the suggestion box. It's located in the stairwell that leads to the Oppo helipad.

Oh no, not Oppo. Keep that exclusive. I meant over at Jalopnik and the others...
