More yelling from the homeowners association

#The #hashtag #mob #can #go #fuck #right #off.

I know you think I'm ruining this place for you. Let me offer some solutions that work better than telling me how, or about what topics, I should post (which works very poorly):

- Don't follow me
- Mute me
- Block me

These also work if you replace "me" with any other accounts you find irritating or uninteresting.

If these fail, you can always complain to my dean, who definitely wants to hear your thoughts about how faculty use social media.

That's George Mason University. Operators are standing by.

Correction: George Washington University. I always get those confused.

Another weird complaint I frequently get here (in addition to not using enough hashtags, failing to content warn about ordinary, innocuous comments, and posting insufficiently chromatic art) is that I have too many followers.

This is cited as evidence that I must be some kind of parasitic Mastodon billionaire, cavalierly flying around social media on my private Internet jet using up followers that needier users should have instead.

I’m serious. I don’t get it either.

@mattblaze What does John Mastodon say?
@SteveBellovin I'll ask him next time I see him in the VIP lounge at the private Internet jet terminal.
