Thanks to everyone who reached out, fediDB.org and fediverse.info will remain online going forward.

I'm not going anywhere either, though I think I need a break from the fediverse for a few days.

@dansup Thank you for all you do and bring to the Fediverse :fediverse: ❀️

@dansup Its all good Dan. Everyone understands sometimes you just need a break!

Trenton Matthews

@dansup Recharge yourself. The #Fediverse shall calm down much quicker than any other platform out there. That’s for sure.

Rest well.

@dansup Seriously, thank you for everything that you do. Please take care of yourself.

Hilda Bastian

@dansup Good to hear - you're so cool. Hope you have a nice time.

Emelia πŸ‘ΈπŸ»

@dansup Well, that's a relief! Take a few days to collect your thoughts, mentally process things and heal from the abusive attacks of last night β€” as for our planned meeting, it can wait πŸ™‚

Mitex Leo

@thisismissem @dansup What happened last night ? Can I DM you on Discord/Matrix ?

Mike But Slightly Frosty ❄️⛄

@dansup Totally understandable. If you ever need help, remember you've got friends here.

Robert von Burg :vegan: :tux:

@dansup thanks for everything you do! Maybe you will find someone to help you share the burden?

Matthias :veritrek_red:

@dansup Still don’t know what happened, so just sending some hugs

@dansup take all the time you need, you have our support!

@dansup Take all the time you need. You are greatly appreciated, but you don’t owe anyone here anything (it's the reverse) and your well-being comes first.

@dansup
Thanks for all the efforts and just take it easy
Thank you and just
Keep going

Phil Sherry

@dansup What you really need to do is stop working on all the things at once, slow things down a bit and take a break. Then you can dedicate long blocks of time to working on each specific project. I’m talking weeks, not hours. Context switching like that is bad for your output.

You could start open sourcing so that people could help you with some of the work, too.

While we appreciate all that you do, you’re absolutely burning yourself out and it’s painful to watch. Rest up.

El Perro Negro

@dansup that's good news. Take a break and recharge the batteries. The Fediverse needs talented developers like you.

Ben Ramsey

@dansup Take a vacation. The Fediverse isn’t going anywhere.

pork_slam

@dansup damn, please take a break for a month or longer. It's ok if you take it down for a bit. Everybody deserves a break. Hope you are always well.

Michael Stanclift

@dansup FediDB is critical infrastructure, if you need help with resources we will make it happen

SnowboardBum

@dansup glad you had a large response about your mental health and your projects. Get a good break and keep on reaching out to the community for support! We're here

@dansup I am not hot on blocking Meta, but I feel sad to see discussion getting so heated and people like you getting worn down by it. I love what you do with Pixelfed and I understand concerns with Threads being federated with rest of us. Thank you for all your hard work.

Chrisβ€‹β€Œβ€‹β€¬ Hayesβ€Œβ€‹β€‹β€‹

@dansup totally. breaks are needed. I love ai and can't stop talking about it, but recently needed a break.

@dansup by all means take a break! Thanks for everything you do ... and as the cliche goes, it's a marathon not a sprint.

Jungle George πŸŒ΄πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸƒ

@dansup don't say this enough but thank you for everything πŸ™‡ you're appreciated

Jeff Sikes

@dansup Take care of yourself, first and foremost. The internet and fediverse will be here when you’re ready, I promise.

JB Emmons

@dansup
Do what you've gotta do for you, Dan. And if it turns out you've given everything you're going to give to the Fediverse, rest assured that you've done more for it than 99.99% of folks here. We appreciate all you do and all you've done.

ChiefGyk3D

@dansup we all need to take breaks once in a while

Geotechland

@dansup Hope you are doing okay! I appreciate everything you do

Gen X-Wing

@dansup Take care! I think anyone who makes public facing software and as a public presence should take scheduled breaks.

I’d rather you be ok than the websites be ok. Stay safe!

Tim Chambers

@dansup Very glad to hear: have a good break away. Hope you recharge and unplug well! Thanks again for all you do on the Fedi.

BitR1ot

@dansup thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do. I’m glad you’re taking time off, it sounds like a very smart choice.

@dansup
Don't burn out. Sometimes it sneaks up on you when you're excited about what you're doing.

Matthias Pfefferle

@dansup let me know if I can help! #php #ftw

…and enjoy your break!

Dave Howcroft πŸ¦”

@dansup
Glad to hear you'll still be here! Please take care of yourself so we can enjoy your presence on the fedi and the incredible work you do πŸ’›

@dansup Make that a few weeks if you need to. You’re very much appreciated and deserve a break from time to time. Thanks for everything you do πŸ™
