Blog:Letter of Resignation/Retirement

Hello, Qualitipedia. As you can tell from the title, I have decided to step down from my position as a bureaucrat and retire from Qualitipedia. This is something that has been building up for a long time, and I initially had my doubts about even writing this blog now when bureaucrats are needed the most before I said "fuck it, I'll do what I think is best for myself". I have decided that I just don't want to be here any longer. The reasons for my retirement will be listed below.

Lack of interest/faith
This is the primary reason for my retirement. After TigerBlazer announced his first retirement, my hope for the future of these wikis began to wane. After all, why bother with believing when one of the people spearheading change is losing faith themselves? I will admit that while receiving admin rights reinvigorated my interest, there wasn't really much for me to do from there. This was exacerbated further with me being given bureaucrat rights. From there, my activity has been low because I had other interests outside of Qualitipedia (or the internet to be more specific), so it just felt like hat collecting. It occurred to me that I didn't want this level of responsibility anymore and would just like to do my own thing again.

Certain users who have gotten on my last nerve
Hoo boy, the userbase of these wikis nowadays. I won't be calling out names because I don't want to risk this blog getting deleted, but I will still vent about it here. Ever since earlier this year I have noticed things getting out of hand with the userbase. There's an uptick in users who repeatedly fail to get the point when warned like one user who was obsessed with Fox's acquisition by Disney to long-term abusers who come back to continue their awful behavior like one user who compared me to China just for trying to remove political stuff from the show wikis. This has taken a toll on my sanity and I really don't want to be in a place that attracts toxic people like this.

Request for fellow admins
Because I won't be very active anymore, I would like all of my user pages across Qualitipedia (including sandboxes) to be deleted as they won't be seeing any activity in the indefinite future, and because I don't want a shocker to be made out of me demoting myself I would like a fellow bureaucrat to take care of it.

Conclusion
Well, my journey here in Qualitipedia was fun while it lasted. I never thought that I would be writing this in the state that QP is in, but here we are. I will remain active in the Qualitipedia Discord and will occasionally return for RfC votes. I may consider joining WiKirby (which is not on the Miraheze platform) sometime in the future, as it's a wiki that befits an interest of mine and has an objective focus.
