I actually received some angry emails and a few people unsubscribed from my YouTube channel after I started mentioning Mastodon in the videos and removing all links to my (deleted) Twitter account. It seems a handful of peeps takes it very personally/politically. On the other hand, my mental health status has improved significantly ever since I ditched the bird and its toxicity. Totally worth it. 😅

@janbeta Imagine following someone, enjoying their content, and then use their one interaction the other way around to write an angry email, over someone switching to a different social network.

That’s a terrible use of someone’s time. Sure, I’ve been upset, but never have I started to contact people.

If I unsubscribe I’m done and I’ve moved on.

Also hi Jan, you are doing a great job with your videos! Keep it up:)
