Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

So I always said you lot were just funny words on a screen to me, but I did tear up a little reading your comments. I guess I'll miss a number of you. It made me feel better about the time I spent here posting, and worse about leaving.

I wish I had it in me to keep going like the last few times.

Thanks. To all (or, rather, the vast majority) of you. It was because of you that I enjoyed my time on the Fediverse so much.

I'm sorry to see you go but I understand why you feel you need to leave. We'll miss you around these parts. Take care PugJesus!

[-] Kovukono@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry if this misses you, but your memes and wonderful breakdowns of history always made me smile. Thank you for everything.

My federated social network is ruined.

[-] notabot@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago

Thank you for everything you've done, and for your history posts, I always looked forward to seeing them. The fediverse will be a grayer place without your posts.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Aww man, I'm sorry. You were always awesome, and boy do I understand not wanting to start over. The Fediverse is great in some ways, but the Roguelike Social Media aspect is... not it's most endearing feature.

I can't even savescum like I did with ADOM back on my shitty laptop in 2005 DX

Thank you for making fediverse so much more enjoyable all this time. Sad to see you leave, but totally understandable.

[-] Alfredolin@jlai.lu 6 points 1 day ago

Quick! Let's build an iron curtain to contain him!

[-] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Wait are you really leaving?

[-] PugJesus@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah. Continuing to post on Piefed.social feels futile, and I just... don't have the energy to migrate and rebuild my comms again.

I'm not happy about it, and I wish I had more to give. But I also learned a long time ago not to press myself beyond my limits.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

thank you so much for all that you gave to us. You were one of the cornerstones of the fediverse and I thank you for all the information you gave us. I hope you have a great life. All the best.

Peace, brethren. We need more like ya - and that's just the problem, getting communities to a critical mass in this medium is kind of unsustainable. Maybe we should go back to forums.

[-] PugJesus@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

I feel like critical mass is very much possible and sustainable in this medium. I remember watching Reddit communities hit critical mass, and it was generally similar to the curve here, just on a faster scale.

The issue is the instability, and the instability is largely because of poor planning (God love Ernest, and I hear he's doing better health-wise now, but he shouldn't have been running the instance basically solo to begin with) and decisions.
