   arigatoo gozaimasu :-)
   
   ... for hosting my primary fediverse account since gnusocial.net announced it was shutting down, until I managed to set up my own fediverse instance.
   
   I've just unsubscribed from all active accounts (other than yours) that I used to follow here, which may lighten the load on your server, and I probably won't be posting much from here any more, having encouraged others to follow me at my new home: @lxo (it became apparent that GNU social will link to gnusocial.net, despite tagging and copying the correct account; that looks like a bug)
   
   if there's an easy way to back up what's left of my account, so that I can keep a local record of my own posts, that would be much appreciated. otherwise, I can probably arrange something myself.
   
   I don't intend to close the account right away, so as to keep the link-forward active for some time, but I will likely do so in due time, if my inactivity doesn't shut it down automatically at some point.
   
   thank you very much!

     that makes it two of us! I've used GNU for over 33 years, and GNU social (and its earlier incarnations) for 16 years next month. it's not without a lot of sadness that I decided to leave GNU social behind, but I'm just not competent to install, run and maintain so much code in a programming language I'm not competent at, and I did not feel so comfortable on an instance whose announcements I couldn't understand (it will be years before I can read enough Japanese for that), and that appears to request contributions from its members in ways I couldn't contribute or even understand. I didn't wish to be a burden, so I figured I had to run my own instance, and then I came across a fediverse server that is free software, lightweight and written in a programming language I'm fluent at, so my path became clear. I hope you carry the torch and keep the flame alive for a very very long time! live long and prosper in freedom! thanks,

     @lxo It is me too. I do not like English. And I did not have PHP skill.
     
     But I use English and studied PHP and got  PHP job. Because I love GNU social.
     
     Finally, I think you do not love GNU social. That's all. I am not interested in you. Bye.

     I'm sorry, it looks like I've made you feel betrayed or something.
     
     good for you that you managed to learn PHP out of your love for GNU social.
     
     you're probably right that I don't love it as much as you do. I'm happy you do, and I wish I did, too.
     
     but sometimes we have to make difficult choices in life. I have taken up a number of commitments that have prevented me from putting in the time it would take to become proficient in PHP to be able to maintain and improve a GNU social instance. it hasn't happened over several years, it was no use deluding myself that I'd eventually manage to fit that in.
     
     have a good life, and thanks again
