Stolen from the official closure notice by @kio:
Announcing the Closure of Kitsu

Sorry Fedi. I’m not following the common practices.
At the bottom, you’ll hear about my depression getting to a point where I have been considering suicide. Just a warning.

I’ve had enough bullying and drama. This isn’t the kind, safe, wonderful fedi that I knew before.

Users have 3 months to migrate or remove themselves from Kitsu. All data after 3 months will be permanently deleted.

I can’t keep you safe anymore, because I cannot keep myself safe.

Maybe I’ll reappear. Maybe I won’t. I don’t fucking know at this point.

Sorry. I know this sucks. It really does. I don’t know if you know how hard this hurts me. This is my child.

I’ll also be completely halting 10Tails as a company and will file for dissolution when I have the money for it.

You want to stay on an instance that’s long ran 2 years? Get your fedimaids to stop treating eachother like shit.

This will also mean I will be dissolving the following instances:
Kitsunes.club, Kitsunes.gay, Headmates.social

The following Services will be dissolved in three months
Relay.kitsu.life kitsu.page, kitsu.blog, Tau, AskHMS

The following Services will be transferred to their operators:
fedi.catboy.agency (to CyberBoy), transfem.social (my 5% ownership going to Amber).

This means my services will be shut down on Nov. 11, 2025.

I will be hosting KitsuDev until the domain expires.

I will be dissolving 10Tails, Inc and will be liquidating my entire stock.

To be frank, shame on all of you, for watching as I am systemically kicked, over and over, and watching me be kicked over and over since December. Fuck everyone who popcorn reacts to the “drama” - which is administrators bullying me, misgendering me. This isn’t Drama. This is bullying. I tried to do what I believed in and was left to the fucking side while people used me as a meat shield to quietly do the same thing I did.

I am in need of therapy. I have made calls, multiple times, to crisis networks this year, something I have not done in YEARS. On no other service have I been threatened, systematically misgendered, because I wanted to run a place where I felt safe. For the first time in years, I contemplated actually, seriously killing myself. Recently. That’s the mental state I’m currently in.

So i give up. I hate this platform and I hate everybody who stood by and watched.
