Blog:Farewell Qualitipedia...

Hey, it's me, JigglypuffGuy04, also known as 3DSGuy11, TylerThe3DSGuy, or simply Tyler. If you couldn't tell by now, I'm leaving Qualitipedia. This is actually something that I have been considering for quite a while now, but I wasn't sure yet if it was the right decision or not. But now, I've made my choice, and that choice is to retire for good. I have quite a lot of reasons for why:

The userbase
Simply put, the userbase has caused a huge part in me wanting to leave. When I first came to the miraheze in 2019, my experiences with most users weren't too bad at the time. But ever since 2021, I've mostly had nothing but bad experiences with other users, ranging from disruptive editors, rule-breakers, and vandals, and also people who nag me over crap I don't care about, and some who are flat out rude to me. Having to deal with so many users is nothing short of stressful. Many people might know this on the Qualitipedia Discord server since I've vented so many times about my bad experiences with these users, it may seem like overkill, but it does show how troublesome the userbase really is. I try my best to assume good faith, but deep down inside, I'm always fuming in anger whenever people do not follow the rules or make pointless changes. I've even had a user who insulted me on my talk page just for preventing them from removing Peppa Pig to the "average shows" category, and another user who called me a racist slur because I reverted one of their edits on the Cuties page. My complaints with the community mainly applies to the show wikis, but it also somewhat applies to the movie wikis as well. I don't really want to go in full depth in all the bad experiences I went through, it's a rather long story and I'd much rather not tell it. After I realised all of this, I thought to myself, "what's even the point of staying around and trying to be a respectful individual anymore when everyone else is just going to give you dogshit in return?". And frankly, I don't want to stay here if the community is just going to treat me like shit all the time.

Mental Health
If anything, Qualitipedia is not helping my mental health in the slightest, for someone on the autism spectrum, I suffer from really bad anxiety and also have issues with getting stressed out over things easily, two things that also play a huge benefactor in me wanting to leave. Stress is quite obvious, many users overall keep stressing me out over several things I have already mentioned earlier. Again, I know that I must assume good faith when dealing with other users, and although it's been going well, all things considered, sometimes, my stress and anger can push the boundaries a bit too far, I've even been warned by an admin for biting a user in the edit summaries when the said user added a "Featured" template without an admin's permission to one page. For anxiety, however, it hits me when people try to throw me down the line and put me into unneeded drama. Like the aforementioned user who insulted me on my user page, and also another user who called me out for no reasonable explanation when he made fun of another user when that said user politely criticised him. Now, I'm not gonna name any names here or anything, because I know that if I do that, it will start drama, and I don't want to end my journey with Qualitipedia on such a stinker note.

Lack of Interest
To be honest, the biggest reason for leaving is just that I've gotten tired of using the wikis now, I don't really find contributing to them all that fun anymore even with the terrible userbase aside. I've just found other websites that I'm more interested in compared to Qualitipedia, which I will mention later in the blog. All of the passion that I once had for contributing to pages and improving them are now all gone. A lot of the times nowadays, I'm just removing pointless shit to pages or I'm dealing with other users, and even when I do that, it's only an occasional edit.

One Request Before I Go
Before I go bye-bye, I'd like to request any admin, doesn't matter who exactly, to delete all of my user pages on all of the Qualitipedia wikis, and to demote me as an admin on the characters wikis.

Where Will I Go Now?
Now, just because I'm leaving Qualitipedia, that doesn't mean that I will be leaving the internet entirely. I might still occasionally return for any RfC votes and possibly some other stuff, and I'm still active on other platforms as well, most notably on the Qualitipedia Discord server, which I won't be leaving anytime soon since it's essentially been my comfort zone and the only place where I don't feel lonely. I'm also somewhat active on Twitter and FANDOM as well. I haven't really contributed to FANDOM in quite a while now, but since I'm leaving Qualitipedia, hopefully, it should mean that I'll be more active there. The website I'm the most active on nowadays is Album of the Year, a music rating website, I'm way more active on here than I am on any other website at the moment.

Farewell everyone...
I guess I have nothing else to say, other than... farewell. Whether it was a good or bad run while it lasted, now it must all end. Before I fade into my shadows, I just want to thank every user who was actually there for me, those who made me laugh and cry, those who deeply cared and respected me for who I am, those who helped me out when I needed it the most, those I have had nice interactions with, and those in general that I've overall had an absolute blast with. My personal thanks go out to TigerBlazer, Zangler, PlantyBOi, Blazikeye535, ThePCGamer, Dragonite, King Dice, Mr. Dready, Gilimaster69, ReviewingShows97, SkullcrawlerBuddyOfficial, Kpop And Earthbound Fanatic, ZeusDeeGoose, Bukkit, Sophomoreglizzy, ShawnTehLogoBoi, Thomallister1921, and any other users I might have accidentally missed out, apologies to you if I missed out your name. You guys are awesome, and you all single-handedly made my experience here much better.

Goodbye, my friends. Don't y'all forget about me.
