Not actually a flute

I'm sorry I didn't stick around here during the time that it's been up - it sounds like it's been a great space for the folks who stayed here. I just can't seem to remember things exist anymore, and whenever I was reminded and checked back it seemed almost none of my friends were still here, and I couldn't find a sub-community group that seemed like I'd fit in, so I just ... drifted off for good.

I don't even know whether anyone is going to see this post! I don't know if anyone still follows me!

But even just coming back here and clicking the "post" button and seeing this lovely familiar LJ-esque box (which has a lot more features than I remember from the last time I was here)... man, this reminds me of a time when the internet didn't feel like poison, and our online community sites ("social media" wasn't yet a thing) actually provided community and a space to just be yourself and make friends and try things out and share what you made and not worry about Creating Content or Getting Ahead.

A lot of things sucked in my life at that time, but I miss that internet. And I'm sorry that the people who tried to bring it back through Cohost wound up so hurt and burned out by the experience.

And I'm really sorry for all of you who built a beautiful community here and will now have to find another place to relocate to. I wish you luck with that ♥
