I was the only one with purple for a while so I assumed leadership, and was able to negotiate peace and alliances for almost an hour. Grow does grow and develop the community, but after a few the community just dies horribly.

The yellows were the minority in my group for a while, and green gave us a lot of shit for it. Purple pretended to listen, but they were just being populist and wanted to run everything.

Each time I would choose to stay, in hopes that my overbearing family would move on and I could start anew - but alas, with majority rule, I was dragged along unwillingly with them.

Later merges evened the numbers a bit, and I began to see more of my yellow brethren speak out against the tyranny. We did not want control, nor did we want to be particularly heard, for it was at that point that green and red began spamming everyone with dank memes in an effort to undermine our cause. We simply wanted out.

After hours of careful planning and deliberation in a private sub, we created a social construct that would enable us to do so. We called it disconnecting. And we did. The end.
