i am shutting down the patreon effective immediately, thank you all for your support over the years, from the bottom of my heart, you've made it possible to run the instance and for that i'm eternally grateful

@chr the end of an era

thank you for everything, and I hope to see you around <3

@chr thanks for everything

i think archive exporting is broken btw, i haven't been able to download mine in over a year and i've heard the same from other people

@chr Thank you for all your work over the years

@chr it's been a good 5 years. Thanks and good luck with everything

@chr <3 thanks for all the hosting~

@chr it's been a pleasure to federate with you, thanks for your work

@chr i don't post there any more but your instance is half of why i have girlfriends 🫡

@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.

@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

@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!

@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

@chr Sorry to hear that. Thanks for providing this service for so long time ​
Also, good EOL plan :)

@chr Ahh shit, I'm sorry mate.

cybre.space's precense will be missed.

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

<3

@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.

@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.)

https://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.

@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. ❤️

@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 ​

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

@chr so long!

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

@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:)

@chr

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

@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. 🖤

@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.

@chr@cybre.space ​​

@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.

@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 🙂
