I know I’ve ended up more of a lurker lately. That’s not due to any particular ill feelings about beehaw or lemmy at large though. I think I just entered a bit more passive, consuming phase. Maybe falling back a bit to the old reddit habits? Mostly browsing for interesting new things.
Anyway.
This is probably due to me discovering Beehaw and Lemmy at the same time, but for me they’re probably a lot more connected than I’m guessing they are for you old timers.
For me it’s like… the cozy corner of Lemmy you know? My home base while venturing out to other instances’ communities. I’m definitely most likely to actually post or comment around here just because I like it here (though not exclusively however).
So… now this place will most likely go dark in a while. What then?
This won’t and can’t be my home base by then and that’s making me feel like… should I start looking for a new home already?
Anything I produce with this account will either go go away or at least be locked down. Nor sure what happens to the federated copies of comments and posts on other communities when an instance shuts down.
So… I don’t know. It’s starting to feel a bit like this account is nearing its end of life which makes it feel a bit odd to be actively using it.
A bit like chalk on the sidewalk while watching rain clouds come rolling in.
I… don’t know what my point is really.
I guess it feels a bit like it’s time to start cultivating a new account, mirror my subscriptions and start using that instead, even for posting here. I don’t know.
