Watch them somehow join the Fediverse.

Good for them! I wish them luck, now that they managed to escape their evil empire and set out on a more positive path.

Omg I wonder if I can still log in. I think last time was 2017.

I really wanted to make a neopets-esque online game but went down the route if a crime game instead. Would love for them to have a proper comeback and see what they do
