Lyra Community Announcement: Leader Identity Update
Summary
In Lyra this announcement reveals the server leader used a different persona and now discloses their true identity while keeping age private. They apologize for the deception, affirm that shared memories were real, and note they recently transferred server ownership to trusted moderators while asking for forgiveness and continued community support.
Hey everyone,
I’m writing this because I truly value the community we built and the milestones we hit together. As we’ve grown, I’ve started to feel a lot of weight over the fact that I haven't been entirely honest about who I am.
To be upfront: I am not a 23-year-old female named Sai. My name is actually Isaiah, and I am a guy.
I won’t be disclosing my real age as I still prefer to keep that part of my life private, but I wanted to finally clear the air. I started out with a different persona for my own reasons, but I’ve reached a point where I feel deeply for deceiving you all for so long. I sincerely apologize for that. Regardless of the identity I used, the memories and fun we had were 100% real to me.
To Ant, Thomas, Katherine, and Burcu:
I want to give a special, heartfelt thank you to the four of you. You didn't just help run this server; you were the reason it succeeded. You put in so much work and stood by me through everything. I am incredibly sorry for not being truthful with you specifically, especially since we worked so closely together.
I gave the server over to one of you a few weeks ago because I trust you all completely, and that trust is genuine. I hope you can find it in you to forgive the deception, as the respect I have for each of you is very real.
Thank you all for being part of this journey with me.
