Stonekettle 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?

@LillyHerself IIRC, he felt hassled about not using hashtags (he seemingly does not ever use them), so he left.

@iseclurker @LillyHerself people make it so complicated. Mastodon is simple - if people do not want to hear what you have to say, they can easily stop listening. They can do this individually or in self-organising groups. But they cannot stop you speaking.

Seems to me many people complain that "they wouldn't let me say what I wanted to say", when what really bothers them is that "they wouldn't let me force them to listen"

Which IMHO is the whole point of Mastodon.
