Anyone know where FlyingSquid went?

:(
You never know what's happening in folks' real life.
Real life happens, often so seriously and so fast that you don't have time or effort to post online for significant stretches.
Hell, he might even be in the hospital, he had a history of difficult medical issues.
We can always hope for the best of the folks we lose track of online, but it's not unlike that meme about your old gaming friends.
Here's hoping everything is going okay not just for @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world but for everyone who disappears from our community.
Good? He was a huge asshole, who regularly banned people for disagreeing with him or his extreme bullshit views. He was also famous for trying to lord over people about being a mod if losing a discussion...
His instance .world has some strict/stupid rules, which he did enforce. I didn't like it either but instead of blaming the messenger I simply left .world.
No he would literally bias ban just like jonsjava and most of .world.
He wasn't just a messenger he would get into an argument, start to lose then ban and remove.
I hope they're ok like most people but they were kind of a petty asshole at times.
Well, he moved here to the UK but we ain't eaten him or nuthin'.
Then why is there a tentancle on your plate?
That's an odd statement to make out of nowhere. What did you have him with?
Captain Blackadder did not eat this delicious plump-breasted ~~pigeon~~ flyingsquid
~~Well, we call them broad beans. And a nice chianti.~~
Er.
Did I mention before that I'm a vegan? I subsist on a diet of Gregg's vegan sausage rolls, plastic shoes, and smug self-satisfaction. Definitely not squid, flying or otherwise.
Vegan? Oh? Is that why your handle is a (badly misspelled) word for a rabbit dish??? Hmmmm.
It's not misspelled at all you cheeky fucker. It's my real name (this is a lie) and is an anglicalisation of Hasenpfeffer.

Probably busing after relocating to the UK
I hope that his lord fixed the elevator in his building
I know you (probably) meant landlord, but your typo cracked me up. I shall now go pray to my elevator gods for continued ascension.
Personally I took it to mean a feudal lord, it's both sad and funny that way.
That works too. Feudal lords are the new slumlords, but also the OG slumlords.

If I remember correctly, he moved to the UK relatively recently, and I believe I remember him later making some comment about it being important to get a job.
If that's correct, he may be busy with getting a job in a new country. If he does need to do that, probably best not to push him to sink time on modding, since I suspect that he may be pretty tied up; real-life stuff should probably take priority.
Ah yeah that's two life changes in one bundle. No doubt he's busy as shit. I'm glad to hear this.
It's been quite peaceful actually
Didn't they say they went out for cigarettes?
Interesting, he told me it was for milk.
Get out of that chair! You're not my real @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world! My real @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world is gonna be back any minute now and then you'll be out of here, Frank!!!
I blocked them a long time ago. I didn't even notice that they were gone.
Dude tried to ban me for saying Bibi was abusing the Jewish faith to genocide Muslims.
Idk about fuck him entirely, but I didn't need his Zionist ass in my feed.
There is a large section of the Jewish community who believe you shouldn't be allowed to kill innocent.
No I'm not him before anyone asks, this has been my screen name on other platforms for close to a decade.
Itβs kinda weird that itβs just a large section lol
I think they went on walkabout. Last time I saw them was posting about European power outlets.
Probably enjoying some irl time.
"How can anybody eat at a time like this? The FlyingSquid is missing! Bush, SEARCH PARTY of three!"
Could have just taken a break from Lemmy to focus on life stuff. Those stats for comments and post in 1.8y takes a lot of time and energy.
Hope they are doing well also.
Can jordenlund be next?
This subject was brought up earlier this week on the Star Trek shitposting community that they frequented. No definitive answer.
Dude escaped fasclsm! I am both proud and envious! God speed!
Know what. I was never a big fan of how they interacted and conducted themselves on Lemmy, but reading that gave me a little more respect for the guy.
I saw him post at least 1 comment yesterday, but has deleted it. π€·π»ββοΈ
He transformed into a squid and flew away from this wretched planet.
Probably on the way to Alpha Centauri on a Squid-Spaceship
π¦ππ
Its probably better place than whatever this hellhole we live on. Perhaps, its a planet of Hyper-Intelligent Squid-People! (Squids are some of the smartest creatures, according to certain scientists, who knows what Earth could've been without Humans)
Maybe they'll even have their own Squid Game? π€
(Wait, what does a planet of Squids call their Squid Game? π€π€π€)

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Donβt ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
