Editing DeepFriedMemes (section)

===== Hyperion =====
{{Quote|I’ve been a part of this community for a very long time. I’ve browsed /r/DeepFriedMemes since 2016, and back then it was one of my favorite subs. I got involved in the community in 2017 and became a mod that same year. It’s insane to me how much time has passed, I’ve really grown up with DFM and I’ve seen everything crumble before my eyes. The disparity between the subreddit and the server was so massive it was something that couldn’t have been fixed, nor should it have been. I wish that I would have done things much sooner to combat all the issues facing the sub, but I’m not sure honestly that it would have been able to have been done. The primary issue with the subreddit had taken root in its very beginnings, and so it’s no wonder that it ended up this way. 

As I drifted toward the Discord and away from Reddit a lot of the love that I had for the site was gone. Truly it had died long ago, and its corpse had been rotting for some time. I had thought that I would be able to save it but at this point I’ve lost my faith in Reddit as a platform. It often placed a great burden on me as the owner of the subreddit and the discord server to carry both. I often felt as if I was the only one who really cared and I sinked unhealthy, embarrassing amounts of time into trying to make both the subreddit and the Discord the best they could be within my power. Reflecting on all of this, I’m reminded of a quote by Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec. “Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.”

And with that I give my farewell. I give my thanks to everyone over the years who has helped out and has been a part of this very formative experience for me. While sad, I feel it’s important that we move on from this chapter and begin anew. Thank you for taking me on this journey and I’m excited to see what’s next. That being said, I thought I’d share this playlist of music curated by the Discord.|u/[[Hyperion]]}}
