Yo I’m gonna be honest, I’m sad about all this. Like my minds struggling to contain whatever this complex mixed up emotion is. Like I said in the dt before everything blew up, I’m not good at goodbyes. And part of me just feels like this is an end of some description, like nothings gonna be the same again. I don’t like change.
I feel like the community's been broken up, and I also feel sad. Instead of being in one place we've become divided, with some at Reddit and some here, some on discord and others forming new breakaway Reddit subs. I do like the vibe here better, it is definitely much nicer and more supportive in my opinion. Maybe it's all the anger over there, or maybe I'm wary because a handful of people just closed the sub without any consideration for the users and it could happen again. I'm definitely here to stay, but I miss what it used to be as well. We had a great thing and they broke it.
Just realised ive been active in that sub for over 10 years now, the DT has been through a number of changes in that time, people have come and go, i met people and forgot them, ive had some really good times over the years. Maybe just try to think of it as the end of a chapter, if you stuck around long enough its likely that alot of the people that kept you there would have changed or moved on to other things anyway.
I miss my old mate Brian, i cant even remember his username anymore (thanks ADHD), he was around in what i think of as the peak of DT, we were doing regular meetups and we were hitting 1000 comments a day on the reg. He was a great guy, i hope he is doing well
