Don't shoot the messenger but...
It's time to change names to: nofollowersleftoloose
But you fall right in with the pretty common "only 'bout ten percent of 'em posted in the last month" crowd. So you aren't alone in being sort of alone here.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
That's what I thought. Can scroll through peakd and see they're not posting, and not too many linger around just to browse, because they were told to come here and post. Some do linger, of course. Typically the following wouldn't be made up of majority content creators. Similar to how not everyone watching the baseball game is a baseball player. We've been doing it backwards since 2016, but I'm done talking about it, and I knew this would be the outcome.
Might be time to write one more post, just as note that I've retired.
Thanks though. Witness vote incoming.
Thank's for that, what a way to win your confidence But I do indeed appreciate it!
It's all good. It's been on my mind for awhile. Both giving you and witty a vote, and making it official I don't have it in me to start all over again. I appreciate reality. Time to figure out what I'll do next. Have to bite my tongue every time I stumble into the same pattern of confusion. Then do nothing, say nothing, see nothing. It'll drive me nuts but I don't need the stress anymore. Can't get behind the normal way of life here either and be excited. There are other opportunities though, showing hints of a future I can see. Hopefully enough to keep me around. And I still enjoy kicking back and mingling.
I feel all the feels you are feeling. I am fighting my own disappointment about how it could be, versus how it is, but I am also looking at external factors in the world between 6 years ago and now and what has happened across the world in between, its actually a surprise people are still using the internet at all. Huge percentages are in countries with wars right now, others are just happy to be back outside after lockdown years, and everyone is also getting sick of more and more evil ON the web and also evil that is BUILDING the current internet.
AI, evil big tech company human data miners, spam, scams and an ever weakening level of content aimed at the idiocrasy that is spreading rampantly in newer generations, not the intellectual stronghold it was in the 90s and early 2000s.
The end of an era. But for some of us, there is hope in these small enclaves, for me, hope for a community where I can have discussions like this one. Which are getting rarer and rarer to find in low attention span world of the modern internet.
Thanks for your vote, as long as this system has electricity, Witty and I will be near it and trying to keep the lights on for the rest of us, so stop by anytime, "retiring" or not.
