   Just to confirm: quitter.se (and quitter.no) are dead, yes? Clearly, I missed a whole bunch of stuff on the social web last year when I was buried under research and teaching. Can anyone fill me in?

      @steve They are, yet quitter.se may come back to life at some point, but I wouldn't count on it.

         @xrevan86 Thanks. I wasn't planning on it coming back, and anyway people will have moved on. I am mostly hunting down people on other services and trying to reconstitute my feed with interesting people and content.

         @xrevan86 Do we know why it went away?

            @steve Apparently it was too resource-intensive, from what's been told.
            And yeah, everyone moved on, it's been a while.

               @xrevan86 @steve I moved on before it shut down. It was my first instance too bad the increased popularity is also what killed it in the end...

      All very interesting. Thanks for filling me in! I've kept my own GNU Social instance intentionally small.
