TLDR: You're the best! Contact me as @silverspots on discord or telegram and we can talk and have fun. If for some reason you want to see me make all these same posts without the benefit of social media, ask to be added to my "Unhinged Thoughts" telegram group
This is my goodbye post. It sucks but it had to come sooner or later. Other people I'm sure have said all this much more eloquently, so I'll try to be brief and personal.
This is a great place. I think the commitment to a less angry part of the internet gave my brain a badly needed rewiring after some Pretty Fucked Up Shit that happened a few years back. While obviously this community is so much more, Cohost was an incredibly valuable tool to me, and while I wish I didn't have to leave it, I think it's made me good enough that I can go without it.
That's why I wanted to do this now, to go out on my terms, so there's still some time for a few healthy relapses. I love the joy that people are spreading here, but I need to do this my way.
I'm so proud to have been the Dream Conduit that brought Love Honk into the world. You all really took that and ran with it, farther than I ever expected. It also taught me that I don't need numbers to be happy, just love and reciprocal enthusiasm and creativity. I'm also going to be carrying this achievement to the grave with me:
For those of you who enjoyed the @CohostTextAdventures page, I feel like there's no point in keeping this secret anymore (and some of you probably suspected), but I was the one who did all the story and artwork for that as well. We had a small but very devoted following, and I would love to have had the time to finish my magnum opus, entitled "Where's The Love (Honk)?" I never was able to get to it due to burnout, and sadly it probably will never see the light of day now :(
I don't want this to make it seem like I'm done with you all or that my time here wasn't meaningful, far from it. I am a conversationalist at heart and love to chat online. I am issuing an open invitation to all who read this to hit me up on either discord OR telegram OR furaffinity, user name @silverspots, to keep this thing going.
Finally, as the next step away from social media altogether, I've been posting the thoughts I normally post here into a private telegram group. If for some reason you would like to see that, just ask to be invited to the group and you will be welcomed with open arms.
One final note, I should be making an appearance at all the Massachusetts based meetups planned in the next month.
Thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart, and to all the staff as well. You know how we like to point at stuff and say "This would fix me"? Well, *points at cohost*
This fixed me.
Much love to everybody
