Things I have learned since making the plea above…
People can handle a pug as Christ, but not as Superman.
Apparently the Fediverse thinks you’re both a fascist and a commie. This indicates that you’re doing something right.
You’ve been doing this all for us. This is clearly the problem, because we’re grumpy ungrateful motherfuckers and keep rolling your boulder back down the hill. The solution? Trebuchets, coupled with a healthy dose of “I don’t give a fuck if those mofos don’t get out of the way this time”.
Some people clearly should never own pets.
But despite all the trials, trolls, and tribulations, you answered our call. My faith in Dog is restored.
Also, been following you since the kbin days. You’re Fediverse famous now, dawg. That’s almost 5% of the way to internet famous, and also means that when you leave, the Fediverse wilts like a first year history major trying to describe French-Indochina in the 50s. Like the Picard Maneuvar and Satan’s Maggoty Cumfart, your pugly mug is now one of the faces of this place, and with you gone, we’re stuck with maggoty cumfarts and star trek memes.
In other words, Reddit.
So, if your faith in what you post ever gets lost in the trolling, know that for every grumpy asshole, there’s a faithful shitposter looking to you for inspiration, or at least directions to a quality copper merchant in ancient Sumeria.
I did the math, and it says that Threadiverse famous is only <0.001% of internet famous. Though for that I had to assume that every person on earth has access to the interwebs, so maybe it’s twice that, so >0.001% then⁉️
And 5% is definitely >0.001% so actually, nvm, the math does check out after all.
May many respitorially challenged small dogs bless you, my child! ✋
I actually always felt very appreciated on here by most people! Sadly, it’s purely an issue of energy. Rebuilding the audience on comms on another instance just is too much to do a fourth time. I do still wish the Fediverse the best!
Totally understand - went through a similar period myself after kbin died - only now really getting my groove back.
To mitigate the issues with instance instability and mod dumbfuckery, I’ve been considering starting something self-hosted with ActivityPub integration (Wordpress plugin works okish), but it’s a lot of work for the questionable payoff of being able to shitpost through the ages.
What the Fediverse really needs is a User Data Import/Export standard, where you can easily export your profile, communities, posts and comments to another instance.
But what I would say to you is that you’ve got enough name recognition and clout now that, if you get the energy to try again, your audience will travel with you. You don’t necessarily need to rebuild what you built on Piefed on another instance - just move to a place where its easier to continue the parts of this that you enjoy doing, and the audience will follow.
