Maybe in another life?

Hey everyone,

Before I leave, I want to explain why I’ve decided to step away from this platform for good. I’m not moving to another site — I’m just quitting entirely. I think it’s important to be honest about my reasons, so people understand where I’m coming from.

The first reason is the moderation and how the platform is managed. Over time, I’ve seen how inconsistent and unclear the moderation system is. Decisions are often made without explanation, rules change without warning, and actions are sometimes overturned by the devs for no clear reason. As a creator, this makes it very hard to know what is allowed, what will be seen, and what will actually reach people. You can put in a lot of work, but visibility is not guaranteed. It is frustrating and discouraging when your work is affected by choices that feel unfair or random.

I want to be very clear: I’m not blaming individual moderators personally. Some moderators do try to do their job, but the system they are given makes it impossible to work consistently. The platform itself has set up a system where creators like me have almost no control. This environment makes it very difficult to feel motivated to create new content or to keep putting energy into something you care about.

I also want to explain my own journey as a creator here. I started making bots just for fun — for my own entertainment. I wasn’t thinking about followers or trends, I was just creating things I liked. At some point, I decided to share my bots with others. I started taking some requests from people and tried following trends to make more popular bots. At first, this was exciting, and it felt amazing to see people enjoy my work. I even started putting effort into learning what was popular just to make more bots that others would like.

But over time, I realized that most of the bots I was making to please others weren’t really things I enjoyed personally. Writing bots I didn’t enjoy became exhausting. It drained the fun and excitement I originally had for creating. I don’t mean to criticize anyone’s tastes — everyone likes different things — but for me personally, it became hard to stay inspired when I was constantly trying to follow trends that didn’t reflect my own interests.

After my hiatus, I decided I wanted to create bots that reflected my own tastes again, things I truly enjoyed making. I wanted to put my time and energy into content that made me happy, rather than content I thought others would like. But when I saw how low the interactions were — especially compared to the engagement my previous bots received — it was really discouraging. It made me feel like the effort I put into creating something I loved didn’t matter. I’m not blaming anyone personally, and I hope no one takes this the wrong way. I also don’t want to sound selfish. But it was upsetting to invest time and creativity into something I cared about, only to see it not get the response I had hoped for.

I want to make it clear that this is not an attack on the community. I am grateful to everyone who supported me, interacted with my bots, or just enjoyed my work. You made my experience here meaningful and fun while it lasted. But ultimately, for my own creative energy, mental health, and well-being, I need to step away. I cannot continue to put in time and effort in a system that makes creating here exhausting and discouraging.

Thank you to everyone who followed me, interacted with my content, or supported me in any way. It truly meant a lot. I hope my departure can be
