He's not dead but probably isn't coming back, either. If he does, he better have a second stomach full of latinum.
Flyingsquid, he surely made some enemies but also a lot of friends and a lasting impression, why else would we stand here at the wake.
The move from the US to the UK sure took his toll on him and his family, so I wish them all the best.
May they live long and prosper.
Always got on with him well. I hope everything turns out fine for him and his family.
That's the thing. Most people did. The ones who didn't seemed to go out of their way to be antagonistic. It's a shame the jerks ultimately won, but I get why he quit / stepped away.
Edit: Going to use this comment as a soapbox. If someone is constantly antagonistic, putting words in your mouth, twisting your words, and making accusations based off of that, just do yourself a favor and block them (and if it's bad enough, report them). I'm tired of seeing good people leave the platform because of harassment and trolls.
I mean, fwiw I was only debating some random point or other and he got super dickish. Like way off the point being-an-asshole. I think if you agreed with his comment it was fine, if you didn't and he chose to dig into it you were not going to get along.
Yeah, i feel the same about squid. He was usually decent but sometimes he would snap and be a total dick to people. People like that shouldn't be mods imo.
I’m going to chalk that up to stress. I noticed that behavior occasionally in the last couple of months too, but he upended his family’s life to move to another country to try to protect his child against the fascist takeover of the US government.
That move didn’t go smoothly or as smoothly as he would have liked. It’s at least a bit understandable that he was less chill than in the past. I’m occasionally hu-mon too despite my best efforts.
I enjoyed his presence here and would be happy to see him return, but if it’s better for his mental health to unplug, then so be it.
Sorry I’m still new here, I can’t decode this meme. One of the mods is no longer active?
Flying squid was an extremely prolific poster in many communities.
Ahh gotcha thanks for explaining, I’m sure I saw their posts in my feed then.
Fare thee well internet stranger 🍻

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
