    This is @[email protected], for those not familiar; he moderated a number of communities and was a fairly-active poster and commenter, but hasn’t commented in three months.

    Last I recall seeing from him, he’d said that he’d moved to the UK and was looking for a job. I assume that if he didn’t find a job, then he probably doesn’t want to be spending a lot of time doing volunteer work moderating communities on the Threadiverse; got higher-priority concerns. If he did find a job, then his free time may have fallen off substantially; switching countries, switching housing, and getting a new job are all things that are probably going to consume time.

      That basically mirrors my understanding. I dropped off Lemmy for a few months after the election. When I dipped my toes back in the Lemmy pool I was able to gather from bits and pieces he got approved for a visa and was moving to the UK. He was still posting regularly but seems to dropped of pretty suddenly 3 months ago

        I’m staying in an apartment temporarily

        That was four months ago. I’m assuming from that that he was intending to do to do an additional move in the UK, so maybe multiple moves, which probably eats even more time.

        EDIT: And it sounds like he was job-hunting as of four months ago:

        I told a member of an LGBT organization in York, UK that I would be happy for any help I can get regarding finding me a job above the UK family visa income threshold so my gay daughter can stay here longer than six months after he offered to look over my CV and give me pointers… for the glory of the empire?

        So…yeah. I probably wouldn’t be spending time moderating Threadiverse communities either if I had all that stuff going on in real life.
