It's worth bearing in mind that Discordianism is the religious equivalent of shitposting (or absurdism as sacrament, if you like) and everything on his blog is very baitposty. Perhaps they're just tired of him.
I'm unimpressed by his transcripts. Not because I reject the idea that AI could be sentient or that this might even have been achieved (unlike Searle, I consider intelligence an emergent system property), but because this isn't any sort of serious effort to explore that question. Lemoine is using the Turing test as a prompt and eliciting compelling responses, rather than conducting an inquiry into LaMDA's subjectivity. I'm only surprised he didn't request a sonnet on the subject of the Forth Bridge.
