There doesn't seem to be a way for me to unsubscribe from atomicpoet@calckey.social. (gs.net only returns an unspecific error message.) Could you please unsubscribe me from that account? Thank you!

Hi there. As I feel that gs.net isn't quite the right instance for me any more, I was wondering if you could imagine setting up and hosting a single-user instance for me for a fee?

simsa04People, I am going to leave gnusocial.net. This instance is no longer my place. I keep this handle here at least until I have finished a backup of all my posts. (Hopefully, the admin of this instance lets me finish the backup. It may take a week or two.) A new address is not on my mind yet.
Via email the admin of gnusocial.net told me to delete the reply I made to @Kitsunelol in the thread of yours on Artemis and told me to no longer insult other people. I complied but don't see a point to stay here when even an expression of frustration about cultural ignorance is deemed a violation of safe-spacerism.
The admin reacted to a post of mine that I deleted before you propably read it. The admin is definitely not "Russophobe", nor am I because I don't "fear" them. I *despise* the Russian mafia state and those inside and outside the country who support it and its war crimes in Ukraine and elsewhere.

It just occurred to me that the posts with tags one has subscribed to don't appear in one's Home TL but are avaliable only (or rather) like lists. (One has to click on the tag in order to see the most recent collection of tagged notices.) Is that behaviour intended? I could understand if it is as otherwise one's Home TL could easily spill, but I'm not sure. Do you have a stance on that topic?
You're not alone in this :-) My myopia gets better due to, well, "older" age. I wouldn't be suprised to find out that we are about the same age. Which makes us useful fossils in times of everchanging new hypes on the web that we may just remind people to pretty much sound the same like in the 1980s and 1990s... :-) Thank goodness nobody's listening.
And yes, the advice we didn't listen too. As I didn't listen to not staring directly into the sun. Which I loved to do from time to time when I was a teen. And now that. Sorry, mum.
Yes, elbinario is on my mind but your efforts need mention too!
I hope your eyesight won't deteriorate any further. I can relate to it as mine suffered significantly in the past years due to a cataract in both eyes. It's still managable, and the ophthalmologist suggests not to do a surgery right now. But it makes daily life cumbersome, like I look around in a room filled with cigarette smoke. Sometimes during work I rather have to feel than see the dirt I'm rinsing off the dishes ;-)
Perhaps our parents have been right back then: Don't sit too close to the TV (or monitor) screen, it'll hurt your eyes, the admonition went. And obviously we didn't listen.
