Dude was like a pillar of the lemmy community and I believe a mod as well. I haven't seen him in weeks. Hopefully he's doing ok.

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.

In case you missed it, he's fine, he's just not here.

Probably busing after relocating to the UK

I hope that his lord fixed the elevator in his building

[-] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I know you (probably) meant landlord, but your typo cracked me up. I shall now go pray to my elevator gods for continued ascension.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Personally I took it to mean a feudal lord, it's both sad and funny that way.

[-] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That works too. Feudal lords are the new slumlords, but also the OG slumlords.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago

Nice one ha ha

Busing? I think you'll find our public transport is exemplary.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well, he moved here to the UK but we ain't eaten him or nuthin'.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 26 points 3 months ago

That's an odd statement to make out of nowhere. What did you have him with?

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 18 points 3 months ago

~~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.

Captain Blackadder did not eat this delicious plump-breasted ~~pigeon~~ flyingsquid

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago

Then why is there a tentancle on your plate?

[-] tal@lemmy.today 48 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 months ago

Ah yeah that's two life changes in one bundle. No doubt he's busy as shit. I'm glad to hear this.

[-] Maiq@lemy.lol 33 points 3 months ago

I think they went on walkabout. Last time I saw them was posting about European power outlets.

Probably enjoying some irl time.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

Didn't they say they went out for cigarettes?

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 3 months ago

Interesting, he told me it was for milk.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

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!!!

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 3 months ago

:(

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 months ago

"How can anybody eat at a time like this? The FlyingSquid is missing! Bush, SEARCH PARTY of three!"

Dude escaped fasclsm! I am both proud and envious! God speed!

[-] waz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This subject was brought up earlier this week on the Star Trek shitposting community that they frequented. No definitive answer.

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

It's been quite peaceful actually

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

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...

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

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.

I saw him post at least 1 comment yesterday, but has deleted it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] waz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I blocked them a long time ago. I didn't even notice that they were gone.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

It’s kinda weird that it’s just a large section lol

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 3 months ago

I have it on good authority that he's fine, he's just not here.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Do you have a picture of him with todays Wordle
