I used to see him all over the place and now nothing. I checked his post history and it’s been 24 days since he last posted anything.
I don’t know the guy or have any personal stake, but seeing someone everywhere just suddenly disappear is odd.
Forget squid, what happened to MargotRobbie?
Do you mean academy award nominated actress MargotRobbie?
She’s busy filming.
Serious answer: account probably got stale or tired of the joke?
we are past 1,5°
this is something that is past my expectations, idk
he flew away
Ya dingus
For your health
He became British
Truly a fate worse than death.
I thought at first it was 24 hours and I was like woa man. Sometimes folks have to take a break. But 24 days is long.
Yeah, agreed! Especially from someone that was here like all the time.
They figured this place was just another liberal outreach program and moved on. Lots of folks are.
Oh no you found out. Time for you to move on
Lol good riddance.
Why are you commenting lol. Just fucking leave drama queen lol
Way to make someone expressing concern about someone else instead about your politics
Not sure what to even make of this comment.
It turns out the far left also thinks “liberal” is an insult.
Um yeah? Liberalism has always been a right wing ideology even if Americans misuse the term as a placeholder for progressive.
I mean, you look at Schumer, what do you think of the word? We need a new party.
Who said “Democrat”?
You’re not wrong, though.
It is, they just use it to describe anyone left of center that they disagree with, and that’s bullshit
Cry more nazi bitch. Your tears make me happy
There was a post in powertrippingbastards the other day that referenced him, though I don’t recall which. Some person mentioned an argument with them on discord/matrix and they chose to step away.
Interesting. I wouldn’t ever take an Internet forum or place like this and go so discord. That’s just inviting so many issues.
Thanks for the details!
I’m also taking the person at their word for it. Only squid knows, presumably, and isn’t around.
They probably burned out to they stopped paying them.
Ah yes, the elusive they.
And there is our resident conspiracy theorist
USAID lost its funding
Holy based comment
Dang hope hes ok
I saw recently (within the last three weeks or so) that they were blocked from posting on the World News or News communities in their mod log. Can’t remember which now because an entire decade has happened between now and then.
Hope they are OK.
Last I saw, he moved back to the UK and was struggling to find a job. The sudden, unexpected lack of communication is certainly concerning.
I knew about the UK move, but had no idea about the job. I agree that the sudden cutoff is strange indeed.
He shared a lot about his life on here and I worry he set himself up for failure moving to the UK. Based on what he’s said, he had a condition where he no longer wanted to eat, and then stopped working for a long time because of that. He seemed to expect that finding a job was going to be easy moving to a new country, but that’s not typically the case, especially after having not worked in years.
After moving, he talked a lot about finding a job, which had me wondering what changed. While he wasn’t working, he was spending 12+ hours on Lemmy every day, with like well over a hundred posts/comments per day, and constantly talking about not being able to work. Going from that mindset to desperately trying to find a job in a foreign country seems like a mindfuck.
That’s awful. I hope he found something.
Moving and getting a job is difficult because other countries are likely to prioritize their own citizens over transplants.
On the other hand, maybe he got a job and thus no longer has time to comment here.
I vote for this one
Jesus, 12+ hours a day… That is not healthy.
I hope he’s doing okay…
Jesus, 12+ hours a day… That is not healthy
My body, my choice
......Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know how to respond to this.
I really do hope we hear from him. I find it nice that he has communicated with so many of us in this thread and I hope he learns that people are a little concerned.
There was a point a few weeks back where he said he was going to kill himself because he was feeling upset about his future in the UK for some reason and some other user had agreed to like, watch him do it, but then that person backed out. He was acting really weird, but kept up his commenting rate as normal.
Hopefully he’s just stepped away from this platform like someone said and hasn’t harmed himself.
Wow, fuck that other person. I can’t believe someone could be so heartless as to not only root for someone to kill themselves, but to vocally express a desire to watch it happen.
That is not at all what happened.
I read the comments when they occurred and that’s what Squid communicated. I remember that he said he would do it and that a user had agreed to watch because it was shocking to read and he was very upset.
I don’t remember further details, like which user backed out. Squid kept commenting for a long while after that so I just assumed he was being impulsive and calmed down.
This might be completely unrelated to why he’s left, but it occurred. If you have the “real story,” go ahead and correct me.
I do have the real story but it’s not mine to tell, so I won’t relay it here. But yours is not correct. You’re misremembering what happened.
If you can’t tell me what I got wrong (without necessarily giving details) then this conversation is useless.
No it isn’t useless. You are misrepresenting what happened. I am here to make this statement. It is useful in that anyone that might have read what you said will hopefully disregard it as a result
And yet, you can’t articulate what’s wrong with it or why, so is that not a reason for people to completely disregard your assertion, too?
If someone reads what both of us have said, neither of us can provide credible evidence that we are correct. That’s as useless of a conversation as I can imagine.
You’re basically saying “nah, you’re wrong” and people are supposed to buy it based on your word? Again, useless.
I’m saying that you’re wrong in your telling of the story. I’m also saying that what happened should not have been public, but unfortunately was. But just because it was, that doesn’t mean any calling to it, or referencing it isn’t incredibly disrespectful to a person that was in the middle of a crisis.
Their privacy should be taken into consideration regardless of whether or not the event was posted publicly.
The comments were removed. There is no need to fill in blanks to tell a story that doesn’t need to be told.
Jesus! I really hope that didn’t happen or wasn’t a thing. The guy was open about an LGBTQ+ child and I really hope they didn’t/don’t have to endure losing their parent. I have a child as well and I would never want him to deal with losing a parent at a young age. It makes me sad.
He disappeared a long time ago when I blocked him for being an asshole.
Nicole got 'em.
Oof.
Yep, they’re a goner.
Rip the homey.
She gets everyone in the end.
