MODERATORS
 

Just an update for you all, regarding both of my moderated communities.

Currently I aim to keep the community alive and uphold my current moderation duties. You will still see uploads from me if I find anything particularly interesting that I would like to share. That being said I will not be keeping a strict schedule of posting, meaning there may be times you might not hear from me. I will still aim to react to and engage with all content posted here from now on. If the community sees an increase in engagement further down the line, then I may resume my regular (heh) posting.

I really appreciate all those who have posted and/or commented on posts. You all have helped shape this place into something pretty neat, a nice little corner of the internet, if you will. I especially appreciate the help of @Myr@lemmy.world who provided unfaltering support over the past year or so, going as far as to showing me up in the process ;) .

I hope this place will continue to grow steadily over time, and as I've mentioned, I'm not going anywhere, just taking a break from regular posting. I apologise to those who enjoy the regular contributions, the motivation to encourage engagement just isn't there any more. Thanks for a couple great years of top-tier metal and discussions!

And wipe that smirk off your face, I ain't retirin'! This madman ain't going anywhere! I'll see you wherever there's many 0s being played in fast succession! ๐Ÿค˜

Hey, it's been great following your and @Myr@lemmy.world 's posts on !thrashmetal@lemmy.world. tbh thrash isn't my main style, tho I've like most of the songs I've listened to, and the album covers are always killer!

But i can relate to the "burn-out" of constant posting, I felt the same after doing near-daily music posts for like 8 months elsewhere. Now on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world and !juggalos@lemmy.world I've found a couple things help: doing posts that are pics (of fans, bands, memes, comics) as well as music posts; scheduling posts ahead of time using piefed.social; limiting myself to 1-2 posts a week; OR limiting myself to posting only after someone else has already posted something (so I'm not the only one posting); OR not posting if I just don't feel like it; talking to people on the weekly "how is everyone doing with their communities" thread on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.

Anyway, glad to see y'all aren't letting yourselves go bonkers over this, and glad to see you'll still be around!

Thanks for the tips relating to burnout, I'll have to bear those in mind. Totally relate to that feeling. Nice to hear you enjoyed following along; here's to hoping the community carries on for a couple more years. ๐Ÿค˜
