  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Dude was like a pillar of the lemmy community and I believe a mod as well. I haven't seen him in weeks. Hopefully he's doing ok.

Well, he moved here to the UK but we ain't eaten him or nuthin'.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's an odd statement to make out of nowhere. What did you have him with?

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

~~Well, we call them broad beans. And a nice chianti.~~

Er.

Did I mention before that I'm a vegan? I subsist on a diet of Gregg's vegan sausage rolls, plastic shoes, and smug self-satisfaction. Definitely not squid, flying or otherwise.

Probably busing after relocating to the UK

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Busing? I think you'll find our public transport is exemplary.

I hope that his lord fixed the elevator in his building

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I know you (probably) meant landlord, but your typo cracked me up. I shall now go pray to my elevator gods for continued ascension.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Personally I took it to mean a feudal lord, it's both sad and funny that way.

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That works too. Feudal lords are the new slumlords, but also the OG slumlords.

"How can anybody eat at a time like this? The FlyingSquid is missing! Bush, SEARCH PARTY of three!"

You never know what's happening in folks' real life.

Real life happens, often so seriously and so fast that you don't have time or effort to post online for significant stretches.

Hell, he might even be in the hospital, he had a history of difficult medical issues.

We can always hope for the best of the folks we lose track of online, but it's not unlike that meme about your old gaming friends.

Here's hoping everything is going okay not just for @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world but for everyone who disappears from our community.

I like them apples, all right.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In case you missed it, he's fine, he's just not here.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 months ago

Please take a second to browse !crtart@lemmy.world , it's topical =(

[–] tal@lemmy.today 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If I remember correctly, he moved to the UK relatively recently, and I believe I remember him later making some comment about it being important to get a job.

If that's correct, he may be busy with getting a job in a new country. If he does need to do that, probably best not to push him to sink time on modding, since I suspect that he may be pretty tied up; real-life stuff should probably take priority.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Ah yeah that's two life changes in one bundle. No doubt he's busy as shit. I'm glad to hear this.

Anyone making 10 posts a day for over a year should probably definitely take a step back from lemmy

[–] protist@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

He joined in June '23 after the reddit API debacle, along with many of us. 4610 posts + 67178 comments over 20 months comes out to 120 posts and comments per day, every day, for over a year and a half. A true addict, one that puts the rest of us addicts to shame.

[–] waz@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I blocked them a long time ago. I didn't even notice that they were gone.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social -1 points 2 months ago

Dude tried to ban me for saying Bibi was abusing the Jewish faith to genocide Muslims.

Idk about fuck him entirely, but I didn't need his Zionist ass in my feed.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee -1 points 3 months ago

It's been quite peaceful actually

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good? He was a huge asshole, who regularly banned people for disagreeing with him or his extreme bullshit views. He was also famous for trying to lord over people about being a mod if losing a discussion...

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

His instance .world has some strict/stupid rules, which he did enforce. I didn't like it either but instead of blaming the messenger I simply left .world.
