This is exactly why I left Plurk. LMAO no one even seemed to notice, so it felt great knowing not only was I screaming into the void and everyone was ignoring me, no one even realized I had stopped.

if this reply is representative of how you talked on plurk and interacted with people, that would go a long way to explaining why they ignored you

when people disappear/withdraw from the face of the internet i just assume they're doing so deliberately. i know people who deactivate their plurk whenever they want a genuine break from shit

we noticed. we just didn't say anything because it's none of our fucking business. if you wanted to share with us why you decided to leave plurk, you would have

don't be bitchy just because people don't chase you down whenever you give off an impression of wanting to be left alone

i hate to break it to you, but in most cases, only close friends are going to chase someone down if they've abandoned plurk. and if you weren't talking to any of these people one on one, you weren't that close.

i don't want to be That Person but this sounds manipulative as heck. like, quietly doing things to get attention and then blaming people for not giving it is textbook stuff.

Your standards for manipulative are really low.

it doesn't even sound manipulative to me just...self-defeating

I often notice when people are absent for a little while but I assume it's because life trumps rp and I don't want to be That Nag and I don't talk to them about it unless they show up and say 'how what a terrible week I am going to vent about it now' or whatever

the only time I did try to check up on a plurk friend was 1) someone I was unusually close to AND 2) someone I knew had been having health issues serious enough that I was a bit worried

unless i 1) know you really well and 2) have a genuine reason to be concerned about an absence (health problems, an unsafe situation, etc), i'm not going to track you down if you ditch plurk. my first assumption is going to be that you're busy with life outside of plurk. my second assumption is going to be that you need some space. as someone who likes to be left alone for a bit when i'm overwhelmed, my knee-jerk response is that getting in touch can be pushy, so i'm not going to push unless i have a good reason or know that it's welcome.
