Dude was like a pillar of the lemmy community and I believe a mod as well. I haven't seen him in weeks. Hopefully he's doing ok.

You never know what's happening in folks' real life.

Real life happens, often so seriously and so fast that you don't have time or effort to post online for significant stretches.

Hell, he might even be in the hospital, he had a history of difficult medical issues.

We can always hope for the best of the folks we lose track of online, but it's not unlike that meme about your old gaming friends.

Here's hoping everything is going okay not just for @[email protected] but for everyone who disappears from our community.

I like them apples, all right.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Applesauce, bitch

In case you missed it, he's fine, he's just not here.

Probably busing after relocating to the UK

I hope that his lord fixed the elevator in his building

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I know you (probably) meant landlord, but your typo cracked me up. I shall now go pray to my elevator gods for continued ascension.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Personally I took it to mean a feudal lord, it's both sad and funny that way.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

That works too. Feudal lords are the new slumlords, but also the OG slumlords.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Nice one ha ha

Busing? I think you'll find our public transport is exemplary.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

[-] [email protected] 51 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well, he moved here to the UK but we ain't eaten him or nuthin'.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

That's an odd statement to make out of nowhere. What did you have him with?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

~~Well, we call them broad beans. And a nice chianti.~~

Er.

Did I mention before that I'm a vegan? I subsist on a diet of Gregg's vegan sausage rolls, plastic shoes, and smug self-satisfaction. Definitely not squid, flying or otherwise.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Old Gregg?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Freshly baked Gregg.

Vegan? Oh? Is that why your handle is a (badly misspelled) word for a rabbit dish??? Hmmmm.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's not misspelled at all you cheeky fucker. It's my real name (this is a lie) and is an anglicalisation of Hasenpfeffer.

Captain Blackadder did not eat this delicious plump-breasted ~~pigeon~~ flyingsquid

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Then why is there a tentancle on your plate?

[-] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago

If I remember correctly, he moved to the UK relatively recently, and I believe I remember him later making some comment about it being important to get a job.

If that's correct, he may be busy with getting a job in a new country. If he does need to do that, probably best not to push him to sink time on modding, since I suspect that he may be pretty tied up; real-life stuff should probably take priority.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Ah yeah that's two life changes in one bundle. No doubt he's busy as shit. I'm glad to hear this.

Didn't they say they went out for cigarettes?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago

Interesting, he told me it was for milk.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Get out of that chair! You're not my real @[email protected]! My real @[email protected] is gonna be back any minute now and then you'll be out of here, Frank!!!

[-] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

I think they went on walkabout. Last time I saw them was posting about European power outlets.

Probably enjoying some irl time.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Could have just taken a break from Lemmy to focus on life stuff. Those stats for comments and post in 1.8y takes a lot of time and energy.

Hope they are doing well also.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

"How can anybody eat at a time like this? The FlyingSquid is missing! Bush, SEARCH PARTY of three!"

Dude escaped fasclsm! I am both proud and envious! God speed!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Know what. I was never a big fan of how they interacted and conducted themselves on Lemmy, but reading that gave me a little more respect for the guy.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This subject was brought up earlier this week on the Star Trek shitposting community that they frequented. No definitive answer.

Good? He was a huge asshole, who regularly banned people for disagreeing with him or his extreme bullshit views. He was also famous for trying to lord over people about being a mod if losing a discussion...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

His instance .world has some strict/stupid rules, which he did enforce. I didn't like it either but instead of blaming the messenger I simply left .world.

It's been quite peaceful actually

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I saw him post at least 1 comment yesterday, but has deleted it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Anyone making 10 posts a day for over a year should probably definitely take a step back from lemmy

I blocked them a long time ago. I didn't even notice that they were gone.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Dude tried to ban me for saying Bibi was abusing the Jewish faith to genocide Muslims.

Idk about fuck him entirely, but I didn't need his Zionist ass in my feed.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

There is a large section of the Jewish community who believe you shouldn't be allowed to kill innocent.

No I'm not him before anyone asks, this has been my screen name on other platforms for close to a decade.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It’s kinda weird that it’s just a large section lol

I have it on good authority that he's fine, he's just not here.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Do you have a picture of him with todays Wordle
