No one is forced to keep a community going. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago* Moving one over here was fairly hard for this reason. I admittedly should be keeping it up still, but where realizing I had nine whole subscribers made me really happy (there are tens of us!), realizing nobody was ever going to make a move of any sort even to comment and that I was going to continue carrying this entire community by myself has made me very discouraged. I know most people are content to lurk while they look for something that's interesting enough to post/interact with. I do that too. But come on, guys. Don't do me like this. Nobody goes online to sit and talk to themselves. permalink fedilink source parent
