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?
Femme Malheureuse@LillyHerself This is a manufactured problem. He could launch his own closed instance and that'd be it, problem solved.
As much as I've enjoyed Stonekettle's commentary, he tends to be a hot head and overreacts rather than taking the time to think things through.
@LillyHerself I'm also going to add that I had followed him with two accounts -- the clone of this one, and another I use which is paired with a website for which I write.
He blocked my other account because I corrected him on a point of fact documented by several reported news articles.
Very touchy, very easily set off, making him a perfect target for trolls. And yet if he puts up with that volume of crap on Twitter, how is Mastodon so much worse?
