   @simsa03 i really can't remember what bad things were said, but i remember that you said what you thought was true and right, seemingly without regard to authority, personal gain or popularity. i respect that a lot. i know you didn't agree with me on everything, but i think it was mainly productive disagreements. i certainly also remember the massive work you did with documentation, the faq and helping newcomers. that was very important, and i think we both played a part to keep the fediverse idea alive back then.
   
   i did sell my flat, and built a small house on wheels and started growing potatoes. it's sad that i wasn't able to keep the image sharing gnu social site quit.im online at least, but we have a blog called hafsbloggen now, where i write sometimes, in swedish.
   
   this is where i'm sitting now, looking at the styrian oil pumpkins we are trying this year: https://gnusocial.jp/url/1172129

     Hi there. I'm not sure if you remember me back from the days on Quitter around 2016. We had a acrimonious split back then which later on I regretted a lot. So for the rough departure and the bitter tone in our last exchanges I want to apologize. I was pretty out of my mind back then, felt underappreciated and bossed around. Our topical differences may have been resolvable in a better way. Looking back I can only say: Silly me. I'm sorry for the way I treated you back then.
     
     I never shared your political leanings (or not to that extent) and your activism but I admired your dedication with which you concentrated on developing and keeping afloat Quitter. Thank you for your (and @3mp0's) tremendous efforts.
     
     All the years I was wondering what has happened to you after you shut down Quitter (and seemingly sold your flat of which you then posted lovely images on the picture sharing site you deveoped but whose name I long have forgotten). Are you well these days? How are you doing? Is your life more tranquil nowadays? Do you succeeded (a bit) in your efforts to leave "standard society"?
     
     Anyway, I hope you are well and I wish you the best.
