Is the sudden drop in traffic on my timeline here lately because people are wandering away from Mastodon again, or because of defederation, or because of DDOS attacks? Whoooo knows? Sigh.

I am extremely fond of Mastodon. I want to hang out here for a good long time. But I'm seeing a lot of my friends quietly detach from this place because there's so much "here are the etiquette rules for this tea shop, I can't believe you didn't lift your pinky" going around that, well, who has the energy for that these days?

I cope by just ignoring most of that, but then, I've got no following or public career to worry about.

@fade if they were on Twitter they ignored: doxing, racist piling on, and an army of bots. Yah the tone police are irritating but they're not swating anyone.

Leaving the birdsite has really opened my eyes to what I, and other idiots were willing to swallow to have a following and feel like a big deal.
