The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.

On the left: Rick and Morty after going through detox with the caption "Fediverse users who are here because they want to be here". On the right are the toxic leftovers of the other RIck and Morty with the caption "Fediverse users who are here becuse they've been banned everywhere else"

To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org

You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.

Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡

    Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.

    Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.

    You abandoning lemmy completely or just the instance? If the former, will you be going back to reddit or avoiding this format completely?

    Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.

    Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.
