Goodbye thread or delayed post on SS? Preference?

[ctb-soon]

My preference is a delayed post that is sent out after I have CTBed.

While I really feel for people who write goodbye threads because it's tough and you need support at that time. But I think I want to convey there is certainty I am gone,

I have always wondered how many of those people who have written goodbye threads were successful. It's NOT a criticism because anyone has the right to change their mind, without embarrassment.

I guess for me, I like the sense of success that a delayed post would give.

And maybe it's because I have already written one.

Agreed, I prefer the certainty of a delayed post over a goodbye thread. It's quite a strange feeling to read a goodbye thread and not know if I'm reading the words of someone who's dead or alive. Kinda... unnerving?

I agree with you on this one. It also centers on how real what you are doing. It's delivered after you have CTB. To bad you can't read the responses

Personally I wouldn't do either, as I don't know if an attempt will be succesful. It would feel kind of awkward in case I fail.

well a delayed post here can be set to post several days or weeks in advance. If CTB fails, you cancel the post, if it doesn't well.....
