Bon voyage, feed! The feed is retiring today
A few months ago we announced we would no longer be spending time on the feed and the bugs associated. The day has come where we retire the feed for good and remove it from the platform. We know some love the feature and will be sad to see it go and we get that. Thank you for being understanding and realizing that sometimes we have to make tough decisions for the greater good of the site.
But I made possibly the most important friend in my entire life and I can't talk to her anymore. This is all I have.
@tluper6491
You can make a thread in our diary entries & connections subforum with your friend
@MonBon Forums are far less private....and as one of many people who have dealt with a stalker, not a solution.
@Dawn04
Exactly. I don't feel comfortable having open public discussions with my friend. That's how we became such close friends, I could talk to her comfortably about anything and in confidence my privacy (as well as her's) would be respected. I didn't even feel comfortable using the feed to talk to her because it felt too public. We can't send private messages to non-listeners, her listener account doesn't exist anymore, so now without even the feed to talk to her, our friendship is effectively just over now because we have absolutely no way to contact each other. And again, this was probably the most important friend I could ever have. I'm NEVER going to find anyone I can relate to as much. I can't become a listener myself so we can talk because I'm a worthless idiot who can't take care of himself much less listen to other people's problems and I can't just make an account just to talk to her and ignore anyone else who wants to talk to me.
So in other words I've lost the only person on the planet I can truly talk to now. I have nobody. Talking to her on the forum isn't an option because anybody can read it. So by removing the feed my only real friend is now completely gone and I have no way to directly contact her without the entire world seeing it.

Now I can't even see who I'm following, even if I wanted to make a public thread how am I supposed to tag her if I don't have her screen name? I can't even do that.
@tluper6491
how much of her screen name do you remember i could try to find her rarelycharlie has a search tool for members i think it would work with just knowing most of her screen name but you can pm me if youd like to and i could try to help
As soon as the feed stopped working, I used the site less. Now there is no feed at all I don't see any point in using it at all. Such a sad day.

With the feed, with the "support network" retire as well?
I'm wondering because this is where I have a lovely list of friends and supporters that I could use to tag in forum posts.
Thanks a bunch <3
@SkySeaTurtle
What is the "support network"?

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
It's your list of followers and who you're following on the feed
@MonBon
Where can such a list be found?

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp

@SkySeaTurtle
I recommend copying that list and storing it elsewhere for now. The follow feature will be removed which likely means your list of followers and following will be removed as well.
@Jill7Cups
I'm really sorry to hear that, feed was one of my favourite features on here. I just hope this update brings us more good <3
@Jill7Cups
not cool......

@Jill7Cups When will this all occur?
Sad, angry in a sense but I guess nothing I feel will stop it from disappearing
.
Feed was like a calm breeze whenever I felt plagued with lot of thoughts in my head.going to miss lot of people associated with feeds.feed friendsðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Greater good ????but I guess my heart wants to think selfish and whineðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚.
@Jill7Cups
Thanks for letting us know Jill. With all the issues it makes sense.
@Jillcups
Feed you will be missed 💞. Thanks for motivating me everyday, brightening my days and giving me a space to write. Hugs, u are loved and will be missed.
@niceDaisy36
I know, right? I'm really gonna miss it, too ... and it's gonna be difficult to improvise. It can be done, though 
@AbbyHarris1976
Yes I know it will be difficult, as the feed was so dear to all of us. But am sure, things will be fine☺💞, hugs.
