 I meant to make an anniversary post on the 13th when I registered this domain, but I forgot, so I'll do it now.

The Shitpost Cloud is officially one year old, which means by Fediverse instance standards it is extremely elderly and liable to keel over from a stroke at any moment. I'm proud that the cloud has somehow made it this far, despite the fact that I truly do not know what the fuck I am doing. I originally expected I would be the only one posting here, but I'm quite pleased by the small community of interesting spergs who have made this place their home, and I have come to enjoy their company greatly. To date I have not had a user join who makes posts that I would be ashamed to see carry the Shitpost Cloud name (except maybe Kensortium, but he keeps to himself), and thanks to that it's been a breeze to janny the place. You guys have been great, and this year I intend to take the technical side of things more seriously, because I'd hate to see what we've built here go down in flames like so many other instances.

I still don't entirely understand why I have become such a prolific poster on Fedi. I never felt compelled to post like this on Twitter. For some reason, this place is different. Maybe it's the extremely autistic drama, maybe it's th-lmao fuck it, of course that's why. Mystery solved. But for real, I think part of it is that, and part of it is how much I enjoy saying anything and everything on a small digital island that is mine, where I am accountable to no other trannies, lizardmen, or 100-page TOS that all seem to take issue with naughty text on a screen. People who don't like me have to deal with it the way things online used to be and always should've been: by muting my heckin' problematic words on their end and getting on with their lives.

Anyway, I can tell the stimmies are beginning to kick in and make this post rambly, so I'll wrap it up here. Thanks for everything, my friends. Here's to another year of shitposting!
