I have a lot of rage, tbf, but it's not why I wound down participation. I wasn't tired of arguing or overwhelmed by shitheads on the Fediverse - I'd mostly kept to places that shitheads didn't congregate at by the time I left Piefed.

It was basically just a policy disagreement with Rimu over admin/coding stuff that affected my experience as a user. That's all.

When my user experience got more irritating on a technical level and promised to stay that way, I decided that I didn't want to deal with it and couldn't move all my communities again. It was just exhaustion.

On the Old Place I was never more than a lurker and occasional commenter. I only ran the comms I did because the Threadiverse lacked alternatives, and I didn't want the only topics I cared to comment on to wither for lack of activity.
