Chased away? Has it happened to folks other than wil wheaton? What was mastodon's issue with him anyway?
I found a discussion on some crappy Lemmy clone. It's really tedious. The TLDR seems to be he promoted a tool for blocking Twitter accounts back when gamergate was a thing, then when he joined Mastodon there were some former Twitter peeps who'd got blocked and were still mad about it.
Thank you for the extra info, I appreciate it!
@bloopernova @fathermcgruder this is the short version of why: https://old.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/9bimug/why_did_mastodon_run_off_wil_wheaton/e57gknd/
Thank you for the info, much appreciated!
Probably people who love Star Trek but hate The Big Bang theory. Could be the other way around too I suppose.
@bloopernova I don't remember what people were annoyed with him about, but I do remember that it was a BOFA joke that was the last straw for him. Anyway, he's the only high-profile Mastodon user that even comes to mind.
George Takai is the only one I can think of at the moment.
I'm here to find out along with you. Would love any recommendations. My Mastodon is just politics now.
@gretathunberg@mastodon.nu is on mastodon.
