I don't know who would cheer, you're one of the pillars of this ecosystem as far as I'm concerned and even though I don't say it enough I always appreciate your efforts in keeping so many niche subs fed with constant content.

I totally get how you're feeling, and I can't blame you for being burned out. You've put in an insane amount of work over the years. I hope you find some time to rest.

You will be missed, and will be remembered for a long time.

but who will explain all the history memes

Please PugJesus, don't leave us :(

Sounds like you're saying you're quitting threadiverse entirely? Sad to hear. I enjoyed your history stuff particularly

NO! Please! Say it ain't so!

I think I might be out of the loop. What's happening...?

Ah, we'll miss you. Your content is consistently some of the best out here.

The piefed admins are making a huge mistake with this change, and they're basing it on bad statistical methods. Every user already only gets one vote per post or comment, so it really doesn't matter if some users exercise that ability more than others. So framing it the same way as wealth disparity (literally using the same kind of chart) was not very insightful.

And to think I was considering switching to piefed soon... guess not anymore...

I am in the latter category: mildly disappointed. 😞

Maybe a little more than mildly, tbh 😭.

Fwiw Piefed.zip won't have a voting limit added right away (source).

That would be decidedly tragic. Your history posts are basically the most interesting things on here. I think a lot of people will be more mildly disappointed, including myself, to see you go.

If you do leave, thanks for the time you were here. You have been appreciated!

Piefed so weird

Glad to have PyLova to counter Rimu’s desire to limit what users can do on PieFed.

How hard is it to just let people use software how they want. Anti-user design is so anathematic to the spirit of the Fediverse.

This can't be happening

Hi I'm new here. I have no idea what's going on!

I'm glad I didn't jump over right away. I was going to, and then things started getting weird and uncomfortable with it.

Just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are. Yours is the only username I recognize honestly, and I know it's going to be good shit when I see it.

I understand burnout though. Can't fault you for wanting to care of yourself. I encourage it, actually.

edit: typos

I will miss your content, but if you need a break please go be healthy. Come back when it feels good again.

Nooooooo pls noooooo dear Pug, don't leave us alone in these times :(

That being said, your own mental health is the most important thing you've got, so take care <3

PugJesus, you are completely awesome and your contribution to the success of the fediverse is immense. Thank you so, so much.

I can't believe anyone can be so stupid as to think that stopping the most engaged people being engaged in the community would be in any way sensible. And limiting voting? When you can only ever vote once on each post or comment? Piefed developers: "this popularity really needs capping".

F. Is this in response of the vote quota?

Always enjoyed your posts and explanations. Hope to see you back here one day or another. Take care!

I know Lemmy has its issues, but I swear the more I hear about Piefed the crazier it sounds.

I will never understand why people want to trade the corporate nannies for some self-elected nanny.

We don't need any of this weird social engineering junk

There's only one constant in life. And that's change. Take the time to focus on yourself and important things first. And if all this bullshit is still here in a few years. We'll see you then. It's always good to step back from this online stuff and realize sometimes it's not as important as we make it. But yes I don't blame you with all the different communities and not wanting to migrate then again.

You’ll be greatly missed. Thanks for everything.
