Someone want to tell me why?
Is it because he has so many followers?

"Everyone on Mastodon" seems like a pretty unlikely answer. OTOH I can think of times when large parts of the fediverse have picked up torches and pitchforks for very flimsy reasons.
Nihl L'Amas@fishidwardrobe @LillyHerself I forget which server Wil Wheaton joined, but he did not get a warm welcome. I looked it up once and I recall thinking it looked like a somewhat lazy operation (no posted policy or moderated servers).

@fishidwardrobe @LillyHerself Stonekettle apparently thinks the "tone police" on Mastodon are worse than the nazis on Twitter.
Not sure what got his account suspended to some degree, but he seems to hate this place overall.
Andrew Crawford@fishidwardrobe @LillyHerself @NIH_LLAMAS wil wrote about his experience here:
The world is a terrible place right now, and that’s largely because it is what we make it.
As most of you know, I deactivated my Twitter account earlier this month. It had been a long time coming, for a whole host of reasons, but Twitter’s decision to be the only social network tha…
@evermore @fishidwardrobe @LillyHerself I suspect a lot of the pile-on was fascists seizing an opportunity to use a misunderstanding to harass him with fake nasty progressive criticism (they do enjoy that).
