edit: i changed my mind https://brain.worm.pink/notice/ApiQhZ9sUhXngq6XvU

im shutting down worm.pink, the fedi instance, xmpp, everything basically, january 31st.

this has been on my mind for a while, but recently ive felt like shutting it down a lot more, and im decided now. the reasons arent special. i could say burnout, or i have other things to focus on, or i just dont like social media, or i dont like moderating shit, but i kind of just want to kill it.

i hope you enjoyed worm.pink's presence at least. ive made some friends. i hope people think of this instance as silly rather than annoying. im glad i could maybe at least provide a bit of joy to some people. im sorry if this disappoints anyone, especially sorry to anyone who made an account recently. ill help anyone with migrating to other services.

ive made some vague shitposts about nuking everything and disappearing, i dont plan on migrating this account, idk when ill make a new account. ill still be on some mumble servers. my signal is fujoshi.01, idk if ill keep using xmpp ill have to get a new account. ill still use my email rat@firemail.cc too

worm.pink was a christmas present two years ago, its a bit fitting to shut it down for christmas

i hope you have a wonderful day

@rat or maybe you could offer someone else to run it, you know. Someone might just volunteer to take over if you ask around.

It was fun posting funny videos, that's what I use social media for anyways. If anyone has seen videos or images I've posted that have made them laugh, I'm glad. Socializing wasn't that big a deal to me, so I haven't developed any kind of friendship with very many of you Like my Girlfriend did. Anyways I'm on discord @Nisegram if you need to hmu. If you see this post, take a look through the bangers I've posted, I really am too proud of them, and hey I'm respondible from stealing viral content from other parts of the web and reposting them here HAHA. My final post~

You could sell the domain and VPS hosting account to someone who wants to maintain it or integrate it to their existing instance. The buyer could migrate all your users so the users need to nothing.

@rat i was curious if you could explain to me. When people talk to you can they call you ‘my ratta’ since u r a rat or is that a slur only rats can say.

@adachi @lizzie @rat @Cyrillic @meso i completely forgot about jimmy, well the gif is still accurate the users are all kissing and sexing each other. when the original thing existed it was all about snorting as much asbestos as you could and honestly that was beautiful

@nyanide @lizzie @rat @Cyrillic @meso
I would really not kiss anyone on here.

Terry is black
Meso has AIDS from his albanian boyfriend
I don't think jimmy would really want to be kissed
and VIPPER is turkish
