Hey, FUCKER here. For the people who actually remember me, yes I’m still alive. If you’re wondering why I stopped posting, it was a combination of things, but it was mostly caused by my deteriorating motivation to do anything recently. When I first started this community, I was always excited to hear people’s funny thought on the random images I’ve uploaded. Hearing people’s stories motivated me to keep growing this community to what it was. But like everything I touch, I was burnt out. I was (and kinda still) in a period of my life where I had no motivation to do anything in my life. I’ve stopped doing what I loved and started to regret the action I’ve done in the past. Because of that, I’ve stopped being active here and took a mental break for a while, hence the inactivity.
I’ve decided that I don’t really wanna keep posting here anymore. I don’t have the mental motivation to keep this up, so I’ve decided to make a proposition for the community.
I’m willing to let someone else manage this community while I’m gone. They will moderate and upload content to the community for me. If no one wants to take management, then I will shut down this community.
While I do think this sounds a bit harsh, I do think that this is necessary for this community. If someone doesn’t actively moderate, then this community will turn into a generic /c/196 clone. This wont be a popular decision, but I think it’s the best option we got.
Before I go, I just wanna say thank you to anyone who contributed to the community. From the commenters, to the posters, I’m glad we could make an interesting and unique community for Lemmy.
As my token of appreciation, I’ve linked my archive of posts from the original /r/internet_funeral subreddit for you guys to share. This is what I’ve been using for the past 7 months to post here, so I hope you enjoy it. :)
Thanks for everything

This fu*ker almost made me cry.

Thanks FUCKER for creating and nurturing this weird little garden. Thank you for not letting this turn into r/surrealmemes or any other nameless repetitive meme hole. You will be missed, but you are more important than this community and you need to do what’s best for you.
Good luck, and take care! Thanks for maintaining a unique community, hope you come back!
This is truly one of my favorite communities, thanks for all your efforts.
My favorite group. I hope we can maintain its character for some time.
o7 thank you for your service. Burn out is very tricky to deal with (I’ve been/am there), I hope your circumstances improve and thanks for letting all of us know :)
This is one of my favourite communities, you’ve done an amazing job curating this.
ty :)
Thanks for making it easier for me to ditch Reddit. Of all the fuckers out there, you’re a real one
( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
I’ve earned a lot of compliments and found good people at my workplace thanks to using your uploads as my computer’s lock screen. Thank you so much for your work, and while I won’t be up to the task myself I really hope to see this community survive, and for you to find peace wherever else.
This the only thing that keeps me on lemmy. I will happily moderate if no one else would like to. Please don’t shut it down
I think @[email protected] will do fine. The best thing you can do is keep posting content.
I love this community, such a unique vibe. Thanks for all the posts and all the best FUCKER hope you recover.
I’m very sad to hear that you’ve burned out and I hope it gets better for you. I’m still active on Lemmy and I’d love to manage the community while you’re gone.
I’m glad. I hope everything goes well for you! If you need anything, please message me.
I will manage the community as well as I can, using the guidelines you posted. Thank you for having created this nice community :))
Hey FUCKER, I wanted to say thanks for making this community and the posts that you made, it’s one of my favorite little corners of the internet. I agree that it could easily turn into a 196 clone without a moderator… there’s a certain difference and uniqueness here from other places that’s really hard to put a finger on. I can’t take on moderation, but I’ll be sad to see it go.
Even if you never come back to this site again, I hope you can find motivation and peace in the future, I’m rooting for you
Thank you. I might come back in the far future, but who knows really.
I feel that burning out sensation all too well too. I’m certain that things will get better again though! These motivational pits are always just there for a bit and then they go away again!
While I’d love to suggest myself for the role you are offering, the very specific nature of the images and things posted on here is really hard to replicate. Like at the current point my phone has 93.000 Images and Videos saved on it and yet I don’t think I have anything like the stuff on here. It is just so incredibly equniqe and creative
Thank you for your kind words. When I first discovered about these images, I had a deep connection with them. They were always so unique, yet I’ve never seen nor flet anything like them before. I just to share what I liked to the Lemmy community.
It’s been fun! Thanks for starting the community & for all of the posts. They are very unique and interesting! Be well!
