As of today I cancelled my recurring donations to Lemmy and will start the process of winding down my involvement with the server.

There is another recurring 130/6 month donation I can’t figure out the account to, oh well. It will probably bill until that card expires lol. I hope you put it to good use D

I’ll be honest, I don’t like most of the posts or users I’ve come in contact with outside of the vegans. Some stars are around and I appreciate all of you and hope that you find enjoyment and use in the instance as long as it stays up. If people like it then I’ll keep hosting it, if it goes dead I’ll cancel it.

Instead of being an alternative to Reddit, this has become concentrated Reddit. It isn’t fun, it is often upsetting and mostly infuriating. I have been on Lemmy since 2020, my first account being lemmy.ml/u/HamidPayaamAbbasi then hexbear.net/u/HamidPayaamAbbasi and I think I’ve had enough. The Hexbear vegan struggle sessions was a delight compared to what my experience on this platform and its power users have become so instead of complaining much more about it I’m just going to change my engagement and switch things up. Between deranged shut in users on lemmy.world, the loser in West Virginia, the people who think military defense contracting is hilarious and awesome on sh.itjust.works to the straight up manipulative abusers like Sunshine, I’d rather just be out. Have fun on your drama communities and standing up for the liberal order against anyone to the left of you. Great work, I’m sure you’re going to really beat them in your election this time. The liberals won. Enjoy your moronic circlejerk. See ya.

Some upcoming changes:

1. I’m only going to post to c/homecooks, to be honest this is the only thing I want to be involved with.

2. The instance will stay online for a bit but I won’t be posting the megathread or in any other communities. If someone else wants to take this over that is fine

3. I’m launching veganhomecooks.com a pixelfed instance, the lemmy community will exist to promote that and I will cross post my food, will encourage other people to do the same

4. I’m inviting users to create an account on pixelfed to share our meals and stuff about cooking and vegan home making.

The entire intent of vegan home cooks was always to be about what vegans actually eat and to encourage people to make their own food with local affordable ingredients.
