The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Faithisvibeing101Apparently they’re leaving rn
Fun-Heron-6446Come to think of it, I don’t fit into any group exactly, since my interests are me being into reading the books of figures like Julius Evola, Curtis Yarvin, and Joseph de Maistre, I happen to also listen to heavy metal, and I have a mix of multiple disconnected interests.
