the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

for a lot of reasons, both personal and practical, i don't think i can effectively run a public mastodon instance any more, and i need to retire cybre.space. i want to do this responsibly and make sure everyone has a chance to migrate and export properly, so here is the plan for the instance retirement (feel free to share this link around): cybre.space/~chr/cybre-space-e

due to ongoing moderation load issues and understaffing, between now and 1 november, the instance may be undermoderated. for other instances, if this poses an issue for you, i encourage you to use federation tools at your discretion. i would only ask that you be clear and public about your decisions so that cybre.space users can figure out where they will be able to migrate their accounts.

thank you

re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr it was an absolute blast
cybre has been a load-bearing gay-little-people-in-my-phone experience through some hard and life-changing times and i can never thank you enough for your time. Thank you.

patreon details re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr I kept pondering, but I guess it didn't feel like an option for you to pass on the torch to someone else?

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr oh no, sorry to hear that it's become so much of a burden on you despite all the cool things that happened with it over the years

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr cybre has been a wonderful place on the fediverse for a long time, thank you so much for your hard work 💜

@chr Thank you for running my home in the fediverse for so long!

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr 🧡 thanks for keeping cybre running for so long, it will be missed

@chr thank you for all your work to make this little corner of the fediverse home for the past few years! it's been a pleasure being here <3

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr thanks so much for running this instance!

re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr Sorry to hear that. Thanks for providing this service for so long time :heart_cybre:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr it's sad to hear, but I understand. thank you so much for all your work running this place over the years.

@chr thank you! this instance was amazing. i liked spending time on here, even though it was brief (around 8 months). this was the first fedi instance i joined and through it i met loads of cool people

and thank you for communicating clearly that the instance is going down and giving a notice in advance.

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr thanks for harboring us when we had an alt back in the day. Definitely a piece of fedi history going down, but we respect your decision fully.

re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr RIP cybre space

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr thank you for your efforts!

anyone from cybre who wants an account at transmom dot love just ask me! it's a tiny but stable glitch-soc instance exclusively for moms who are trans. (not necessarily literal childcarers; you are trans and a mom if you tell me you are one.)

transmom.love/about/more

in practical ways you are probably better off at larger instances, but if you like the domain name and glitch-soc you're welcome.

@elilla Maybe I don't understand social media or Fediverse. Isn't this kind of thing better as a group chat/Matrix server?

@sysinshell I do have a Matrix server, if you want to chat with friends. the mastodon server is to do the equivalent of twittering

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr I know you're getting a ton of messages, but thank you so much for what y'all put into this place over the years. On my journey through here, I made all sorts of friendships and connections I never would have made otherwise. ❤️

re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr I will always remember fondly the florps and pings and sideways toots that originated from your corner of the federation, my friend, and I hope to still see your presence in my feeds after the retirement :blobpats:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr thank you so much for handling this responsibly and being able to admit when it's time to end gracefully. much prefer that to a big explosive end.

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr Thank you so much for running your instance for so long, a wonderful you did! :purple_sparkling_heart:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr may the future treat you well and thank you for running the instance all these years

🤗 if desired

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr so long! :blobcatsurprised:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr Thank you for everything <3

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr o7 thank you for all your hard work. This must’ve been a really hard decision.

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr
Totally get it, and what amazing times I've had here! Thank you so much for the work you put in <3
I'm super sad to leave, but as I said, I've had a fantastic couple of years!

Wishing you all the best, please take care of yourself:)

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr

Damn this is a very well managed exit, nicely done :)

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr Oh wow.

I guess this has been a long time coming, but it's still sad to see cybre.space go.

Just as when pv and switter went down, I think this demarcates the end of an era for the fediverse. 😢

Still the best domain name and I've been spelling it cybre ever since.

It was a really good run, tho and I hope cybre.space will rise once again. 🖤

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr thank you for this service!

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr Aw, sad to see the instance shutting down, but you've been doing a lot of good work for a long while now, and I hope you feel cherished for giving that for this long to so many.

re: the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

Anyone from there can join my tiny instance :02smile:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr I was never actually on here, but you've worked very hard and exited gracefully. Thank you for all you've given to the fedi over the years (not least these emoji!), and I hope you stick around on another account. :dragnheart:

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr wow cybre.space has been a staple in my timeline! thanks for homing my friends for all this time! still hard to grasp that instances that have been there for so long, can just be gone again.

the mastodon instance at cybre.space is retiring 

@chr while sad, this will be a good test of the resilience of the #Fediverse model. Please keep us updated.

Oh, and don't feel too bad. You are part of history now. Bucky Fuller noted what he called "industrial timelags," the span between first proofs of concept and eventual ubiquity; he felt it was important there be the pioneers like you, because only they can start the process rolling 🙂
