So yeah, my life is a pile of, well you can guess. Its not that the job is hard, nor is it overwhelming for me, however my life is crap and my mental state is very dark, so I do not believe I can mod this community the way it should be run. Again, there is not a lot of work to do, and the admin team seems to be on top of it much more then I am, so I think we should bring one other person into the team, then I can leave without feeling like I’m abandoning the community. So my idea is to take some names of folks who are willing to mod, and then I put it to a vote, the top one or two get the job
You’ve been doing a great job with the community and we’ll be sorry to see you go, but please prioritize yourself first!
Mental health is super important so do what you need to do and find a good headspace. Modding is a good time suck when you aren’t busy but is a serious drain when other things are more important in life.
When I was in a much darker place, I would tend to make decisions that would isolate me from everyone and everything else. In some ways that is nice but in other ways… not so much. If you believe your decision is with specific purpose, awesome. If this decision is more of a trend across your life, try and only make positive decisions. (This is just something I share when people express decisions in the context that you used.)
Wishing you the best! Be happy and stay healthy, friend.
Thank you for your service ♥️
Get well soon, mate and thank you for your time.
Thanks for your time. Take care of yourself 😊
Sorry to hear that, I hope things get better for you!
Take a step back man, you gotta look out for number 1. You aren’t abandoning anything or anybody. Being connected like this is great in some ways, and in some other ways it’s literally the worst thing that’s ever happened to the human race. That isn’t on your shoulders, and its quite an admirable thing to say you know what, I need a break. Not many other people have the courage to do so.
I’m sure you’ll find some happiness and some colour on the other side bro, here’s to you finding it 🤜🏼
Does the mod need to be a lemmy.ca user, or does it federate?
It federates.
Cheers mate, thanks for giving us the time and energy you have. I hope you find some respite :)
Hope things start to turn around for you.
I’m sorry to hear that! your mental health is the most important!
Thanks for all the hard work you have done to date!
Damn, I hope you get to be in a better shape soon :(
Being a mod seems like a huge drag, I don’t blame you. For what it’s worth I hope stepping back can be a weight off your shoulders.
Take care man! Take a step back, do what you have to do to decompress a little. I wish you all the best with whatever life is throwing at you. Don’t give up and hang in there!
Put your arm behind you, on your back, and pretend that someone is pushing it up…
Then say it! Otherwise it’s not going to stop…
It being Uncle.
And I hope your days get better soon 👍
