From my first goodbye post:

If my counting is correct, it has been 92 days since the pronoun tag shitshow. That evening I decided to make a positivity post in the hopes of bringing back some semblance of light to the trans (and honestly all gender minority) users on the site. The next day, the neopronoun shitshow kicked off. I again decided to make a thread expressing my love for the trans members of the site. It was titled “For every day of the struggle, I will love y’all even harder”. Well, the struggle kept going and my love for my trans comrades is at an all-time high.

If I was smart, I would have never come back. Unfortunately, it turned out that there were some other users on this site who shared a vision of how it could move past being an irony-poisoned hellhole full of toxic behavior and turn into an actual platform for organizing and praxis. Well, it seems like the number of people who still believe that can happen is quickly dwindling and if that’s the case, there’s no reason for me to stick around.

Now, I was planning on keeping the love posts going for a bit longer, but then I saw the post that had to be screenshotted and paired with this post because @Terkrockerfeller decided to delete it after I commented. I’ve been trying through hundreds of posts and comments to cut through the toxic debatebro irony-poisoned bullshit that permeates this site and build a culture of comradely sincerity and love and what do I get? Not comments sharing ideas on how to push my daily threads further. Not other users making posts full of positivity themselves. No, I get a passive-aggressive subpost saying that the threads I’ve poured all of my heart into for over 150 fucking days are “rote/performative” that didn’t even have the guts to fucking @ me. I guess I’ll take that as my cue to get the fuck out of here.

Nothing about this site will improve unless its userbase can pull their heads out of their asses, start giving a shit about other people, and actually put in the fucking effort to make the world a better place. Unfortunately that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon.

I’m done. Fuck you @Terkrockerfeller and fuck this fucking website
