FYI, Stamets has left Lemmy :(
- Apparently I missed something.
  
  Yeah. He made a post, that he ended up deleting, then removed himself as mod and left.
  
  It looks like he auto-deleted everything. I wish he had been able to leave up the last post so we could read it. I suppose we aren't entitled to it but it would have been nice if it had worked out that way:-).
  
  Not liking this trend, what with FlyingSquid's exit. Damn shame, but if leaving is better for their peace of mind, then I can only hope it's for the best.
  
  Yes, I wish them both well and hope their departure helps their well being.
  
  Something a little less morbid.
  
  Much better indeed
  
  I hope they’re still around, under a pseudonym.
  Sometimes you gotta declare social bankruptcy to recenter yourself.
  
  Any chance you can recall the gist? Was modding too much responsibility or something?
  
  In short: Reddit-ification of Lemmy
  
  As in proliferation of lowest common denominator jokes? Because I can see that.
  
  That, and some communities having petty-tyrant mods, and admins of some instances the same.
  
  But... Tenforward isn't that way, and someone can always go elsewhere to other instances or even other platforms - e.g. I'm over here on PieFed:-). I did consider leaving myself if I couldn't block all the political posts from Lemmy.ml prior to the USA election, so I'm glad PieFed gave me the option to stay.
  In any case, I hope Stamets finds peace irl by touching grass (and I very much hope he returns someday after that!:-).
  
  Yeah, blocking certain people and instances certainly has made my life on Lemmy better. There is likely more to it than just that. I wish him well also and also hope for his eventual return.
  
  So...reddit
