it finally happened

When I signed up here I was looking for a new home for my thoughts
because I believed the platform I'd been using for several years,
vent.co, was closing down. It was saved at very much the last
minute, but last week we were given 7 days notice that it was
ending, for real this time.

It's been gone 25 hours now.

Well, it is still there but only as a static archive, and only til
the end of this month. We can log in and take screenshots or
attempt to download our data but it's essentially a ghost town now:
we can't post or interact with our friends.

We have scattered to other apps but none are quite right and we
will forever miss our safe space.

I doubt that I will post here more than sporadically because my
dear friends are not here. I'm trying to adapt to bluesky.app but
everything's public and I don't feel safe.
