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
