Does this relate to Void retiring? What made him retire?

No. My reasons for retiring essentially revolve around the chudbud leaks. I've been inactive for the last few weeks reflecting on everything and I don't like where I see lolcow culture heading. The chudbud leaks remind me of the Kraut and Tea / RageAfterStorm drama, and I've been reflecting on my last few years on the internet, from the ILJ saga to now and everything in between and I'm just not interested anymore. Chris Chan isn't coming back and the golden days have been over for years. This reminds me, kind of, of when imageboard culture started dying in the late 2000s, and it reminds me of when GirlVinyl took a sledgehammer to ED, I'm 31 and I just don't want to participate anymore.

Does this mean you're leaving the site in general or just no longer moderating it?

I find this post feels
 
It was the old admins deal he worked out with Elaine but he got attached and thought he could save her she was told to fuck off from the sektur. She's still around maybe not here , but on yt chats , discord , and kiwi ,so can we just get it back ? A lot of us would use it , drives up traffic , and our hot takes are way better than the npcs on the kiwi thread. Otherwise we'll just talk about her wherever without rhyme or reason.

TBF most people who want to keep their accounts won't post on that thread, the more activity it gets, the more grief joshy gets.

Further the Blaine vs Blaine farce...

I'm gonna second @ipreferpickles and say that I too would like to know whether you plan to stay here as a regular poster or if you will quit OF altogether.

If I may ask, is it the chudbuds leak itself that you were taken aback by (the fact that someone would target and expose an emerging online community), or rather the fact that this leak has now revealed that someone with nefarious motives and ulterior connections (PVS) was using chudbuds while planning to target several other people and communities? Do you think it's inherently wrong for someone to leak private DMs in order to expose or embarrass certain people/communities?

IMO, "lolcow culture" always had a moralistic undertone - because lolcows, who are people living lives that are out of the ordinary, tend to range from the mere eccentric to the outright criminal element - so of course it was going to be politicized to the point of it being used for psyops. When you have an online community that points the finger at certain people and says: "Their lifestyle is ridiculous/wrong/dangerous/criminal", no matter how justified that judgement might seem, that's a moral judgement that can easily be turned into a political statement. The moment something becomes political, it becomes a fertile ground for psyops.

I'm not familiar with some of the other incidents you're referring to. I was social with a couple of former ED people and it's beyond cringe to see them turn into religious SJWs in midlife, like they were feeling guilty for whatever they were doing on ED and were trying to make up for it by becoming woke. Are you perhaps too having a bit of a "troll's remorse" because you're getting older?
