They’ve been noticeably absent for a month (unless they’ve been posting in admin-only communities).

I noticed it a while ago, just wondered if anyone knew if they were ok.

Every 18 months the current Feddit UK admins disappear never to be heard of again. Some say they have given up. Some say they've just started a family and forgot about the server in their bedroom. Some say they're on a three month bender in Scunthorpe. Eventually the community anoints new admins and the old ones take leave of this land. It's the circle of ~~life~~ Lemmy....And it moooooves us all!

All we know is, he’s called the Emperor.

I heard he was actually a king from Madagascar, and he likes to move it move it.

I saw him recently. It was in Epping Forest at 3am, on a cold June night. He was stark naked, blood dripping from his newly christened axe ("the redeemer"), and he was panting heavily. Before him lay the corpses of 162 grey squirrels and a druidic stone glowed faintly in the background as if it was enamored by his sacrificial offering. We supped on wolf milk that night, and as the blood moon rose, made sweet love to the calming dulcet notes of Calvin Harris's It was acceptable in the 80s sung by motley crew of green paraquets. He left at dawn, clenching that bloodied axe between his teeth as he sprinted north, no doubt in pursuit of that elusive "uptime" he'd kept muttering between every agonizing thrust.

Just a “yes” would have been fine :)

(I'm actually quite curious what happened to him too, and suspect he was executed gangland style by the current mods in one of their usual ritualistic midnight masses in a silent but deadly hostile takeover.)

No comment.

Is this where we find out that @Emperor@feddit.uk was actually @tom@feddit.uk?
