@darius Abramson was apparently suspended for pointing people to Post which I don't agree with. He also whined about whole instances being blocked without understanding why whole instances were blocked.

@darius I was looking for what was so harrowing and he acts like he’s never been banned from a forum before. baby shit

@darius Seth is a bag of bees pretending to be a person, but getting the boot without any warning or explanation is pretty bad community management. Of course, we only have one side of the story, so maybe someone did reach out and he missed it and is now just going for maximum drama. Who knows.

@darius I just started reading the post post, but the author was factually wrong or misleading in so many ways in the first few paragraphs that I stopped. 🤷

@darius

He is a parody and I refuse to believe that he is a real person...lolll

He has been grifting on TWTR for years with his "threads" and now, with an actual edgelord running it, he is calling instance admins "overlords" and "overseers" and can't imagine how Melon or Bardin would ever do such a thing...lolllll....

@darius It’s obvious the naysayers in the comments didn’t bother reading any of the Mastodon tips and just gave up to bitch.

@darius
Did he really get suspended for linking his post account? That seems fishy to me.

@darius Hello. I'll read it, but I'm wondering, what's his argument against it (why is it SO bad) and what are the arguments that refute his (I'm guessing" misunderstanding of federated spaces?

@darius Alas, he misunderstands what happened to him. Shades of Chicken Little yelling "The sky is falling". Yes, the #fediverse works differently. There is no central authority whatsoever. To fix things, you have to DIY.

@darius Surely it would have been quicker to just click the "submit an appeal" button and ask nicely what he'd done wrong?

@darius Darius, can you tell whether Seth "appealed" his dismissal? I might have missed it in his book length "post".

@darius it's things like this that keep improving my opinion of the fediverse 😂

@darius it’s all about money for some people. I love Mastodon and sincerely hope more people migrate here. It’s awesome. Really.

@darius Insult Abramson and his rhetoric and welcome to it but everyone (sure except the terminally online and we tech nerds) calls it “Mastodon” not “the fediverse” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@darius Seth is the reason there are Editors in the world. What rambling nonsense that makes what I could only summarize as being 1 point. That he continuously beat to death. 🤦

@darius

"I cannot overstate how much this means we are doing something right over here."

This! Thank you. My tiny instance is to "continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place"

Ultimately, we need folks to stick together for science and truth. Seems like the last bastion is #mastodon.

Coos County is redder than ever. Not hopeless. Depressing though. How ugly will it need to get before a swing back to "abnormal?"

@darius I get that he grates on people but I’m not sure it’s a good outcome for someone to get suspended and not understand why.

@darius So he's just booted without explanation?

@darius True! I used to retweet him until one day I got a clue. There are a few other celebrity tweeters like that who sound convincing at first ...

hmmm, is that how Fox does it?

Suck folks with a weak mind in and then turn them into a monster?

@darius [fans self] but I thought he was an insightful GENIUS lol
