LillyLyle/Count MelancholiaStonekettle with his 250k followers claims he was told he was "unwelcome" on Mastodon.
Someone want to tell me why?
Is it because he has so many followers?
Coyote of the Stars@LillyHerself Just a guess? From his 2018 twitter feed.
"My name is Jim Wright, I'm retired US Military intelligence officer and nowadays a professional political writer -- as most of my readers know.
There's no link in my profile because I got tired of death threats and lunatics following me home."
It has been my experience that anyone involved with the US government, particularly law enforcement or intelligence services gets a shit-ton of hate on most mastodon instances.
@LillyHerself I should also note, that observation is just what I've seen, not an endorsement or criticism.
@gedvondur He is extremely anti-Trump and writes political commentary from a left-wing perspective. But he has one of those ironic senses of humour, which causes misunderstandings.
This is no big deal for me, I haven't followed him for some time, but that tweet was RT'd by someone who is promoting BlueSky over Masto, as a kind of "proof" of how bad Masto is.
*That* is what bothers me.
