I obviously need to pin a post about this again which is forcing me to create a new one.

Nobody on social media owes anyone else an explanation for how and what they post. Nobody needs to roll up and tell people what and how to post.

Nobody owes anyone else an explanation for how they present themselves online, most especially anyone in a marginalized or threatened group. Nobody should have to share or be forced to share any more information about themselves than they want.

People usually come to a social media platform to meet like-minded people and relieve stress, not make new stress. Give people a break.

We have moderation rules. They’re reasonable. We stick to them.

And if you don’t like it, just don’t follow me or anyone on this instance. We don’t care. We’re fine. You don’t need to tell us.

We’re way past explaining it. We’re just going to block you.

@TonyStark Yes, I'm tired of explaining why I still post to twitter, while still being vocal about wanting more people to realize we have an opportunity to make something better than Twitter ever was. That said, I realize you're probably speaking in broader terms about something I'm unaware of that transcends the Twitter controversies.

@shoq I don’t get into the who posts where drama. People should go where they like.

Yeah, it’s something else that’s been really, really irritating lately. The “real names” thing.

I get really bored with that. Some jackass dragged in my whole list of Patreons today and I’m on last straw hour.

No need for any of that. My first Twitter friends were Captain Kirk, a horse, and HAL 9000. The judgmental crap on that is wearing.

@TonyStark @shoq
Since the internet became a thing, I've considered myself lucky that searching for my name gives something like 100M results, and if any of them are me, they're buried down past page 50. I'm not as interesting as the person I was named after.
But I still don't post my name on public sites.
