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?
She’s busy filming.
Serious answer: account probably got stale or tired of the joke?
he flew away
Ya dingus
For your health
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.
On the other hand, maybe he got a job and thus no longer has time to comment here.
I vote for this one
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.
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.
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.
They probably burned out to they stopped paying them.
Ah yes, the elusive they.
And there is our resident conspiracy theorist
lemmy.ca only has one??
I know FlyingSquid from another community, and sent them a private message just a few days ago saying hello. (I didn’t know they had been missing at the time.) FS is awesome, and I really hope they’re okay.
Well, if you truly do know them - let them know it was noticed and some of us do hope they are ok. A break or a full breakup is totally justified. I just don’t want to see people hurt or hurting.
My interactions with him weren’t awesome but he has his heart in the right place and that’s all that matters to me.
He is power tripping mod, blocked me because he disagreed with me. Had to get another mod to address it.
That’s a good point I used to see him all the time and chatted with him some.
Last I spoke, in public comments in here, he had completed his move to the UK (where I live too) so perhaps he’s just been busy with all the changes.
Edit: Good on you for asking.
Probably took a “news break”
Eh, they are annoying and powertripping. Glad to see they aren’t shitting all over the place anymore.
He disappeared a long time ago when I blocked him for being an asshole.
USAID lost its funding
Holy based comment
They figured this place was just another liberal outreach program and moved on. Lots of folks are.
Not sure what to even make of this comment.
It turns out the far left also thinks “liberal” is an insult.
Oh no you found out. Time for you to move on
Way to make someone expressing concern about someone else instead about your politics
Why are you commenting lol. Just fucking leave drama queen lol
You realize Flying Squid has a trans kid and left for the UK because of Trump, right? Right? XDD
Whatever your point was, you just face-planted trying to make it.
Cry more nazi bitch. Your tears make me happy
