Just found out PugJesus left: https://aussie.zone/u/PugJesus@piefed.social

Funnily enough wasn't the community that caused him to leave, it was the people making the fediverse software

Not happy with Lemmy because they're actual communists in 2026 and not happy with Piefed because it appears to be going in a direction he didn't like

… feel like if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Kbin and lemm.ee went down. Dbzer0 shifted towards the tankies and bizarre clique shite. .world won’t stop making amateurish admin mistakes. Now Piefed is playing “experiments in anti-social-media”…

No idea who that is, but I gotta be honest... as soon as I see someone complaining about "teh drama" and throwing around the term 'tankies' I really lose interest in committing any further to whatever the rest of the post says.

I'm sure its a loss to whoever, or a net benefit to whoever.

he was a huge poster of history stuff and on lemmy which has 1% of the content reddit has it needs all the non-Linux/AI Hating/American politics it can get

Considering how active he was, in 1 year:

9.65K Posts 9.3K Comments Joined 24 March 2025

And it was positive not like spam 1 line comments that so many people do

so with him leaving the overall fedi is now even more worse off than it already is

Well, it sounds like you appreciated their contributions at least. For your sake I'm sorry they are giving up on posting for whatever particular reason they've ended up settling on.

I scrolled back a few pages in their posting history and it was basically a transcript of the International Terminal at the airport - constantly announcing departures.

im pretty done with this place tbh, the comms I’m subbed to are dead, i have to browse by all and it’s the same boring content over and over again

not only that but people here are weirdly hostile, like on average i get significantly more annoying sarcastic actually 🤓! responses than anywhere else I’ve ever posted, ironically making this place which prides itself on being fully inclusive the most whitest american town i’ve ever been in

I looked at w.social but just looks like more of the same

8 degrees with a "feels like" of 4. My bed was so toasty. I also woke up an hour early and couldn't get back to sleep damn it. But still it was toasty and this is not toasty.

That concludes the weather report for this moment in time.

Temperature at work right now...send help.

Oh wow. I'm in Meadowbrook just down the road. I thought it was rather bloody chilly.

Yep, beanies out in force this morning.

Ooh Beanie Brothers. Don't let TRK know.

Actually how does one do that user hail thing on this site, he deserves to be aware of this situation.
