I for one do hope you come back, but I completely understand. I had to learn my own limits on involvement in social media to keep it from becoming an unpaid job
Honestly, only HistoryRuins/InhabitedBeauty really felt joblike (and I only started those because I couldn’t find where to put a handful of cool pictures - and then didn’t want the comms to die of inactivity, so I kept up the daily posting DX), and to a lesser degree, Shermanposting (mostly because I started to run dry and had to search ever-deeper for new Sherman memes XD), and HistoryArtifacts insofar as I fucking hate sourcing but recognize that you kind of have to with artifacts.
Everything else, I loved doing, honestly.
But I can’t do it even on the comms I enjoy posting in with low feedback all over again. The conversations are one of the best parts of posting. I could do this as-is for three more years, but… I can’t start from scratch again. That is too joblike.
I did it the first three times because I wanted to help the Fediverse grow, but… a guy’s got limits, unfortunately.
