MY FINAL MESSAGE TO THE DBZER0 COMMUNITY
07/28/2026
(context: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/73036313)
I did not think that I would have to make another one so soon, but sadly I must. Once again, I am here to say goodbye to a community that I have contributed so much to. I ask that at this moment you not harass anyone else. This message was not meant with the intent to start up another drama; it's made to finally put this one to rest.
Today I have officially stepped down as admin completely voluntarily; I have done so entirely of my own free will to avoid escalating the ongoing drama. Many of the statements I made in the past and especially in the last couple of hours were unjustifiable; many of them I continue to stand by today. But this isn't about the comments or what I have done, nor is it about what started this. This is about respect; I respect this community enough to know that my time here is over.
All I ask of this community in return is that more consideration in the future is made to respect as well, that hopefully one day left-wing infighting may end. That day is clearly not today, but I leave with this final departing request: think about what I have said today. Even if you do not agree, even if you outright reject my message, I ask only that everyone here read it and genuinely try to understand where I'm coming from. If that is done and you still find my message is found reprehensable than I am ok with that; I ask for no more.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for this opportunity, and I thank you for letting me be a part of this community. Goobye
Lemmy in previous version changed something in the way source ips are handled. Maybe it's related to that
