First of all, a crappy and heavy handed thing to do. But I can’t blame this purely on Mastodon (Hi Pat) it’s more the strong arm tactics of this instance.

I’m happy being on a tiny server where I know the people running it as friends, I don’t feel the need to buy into some community code of pseudo scholarly or other nature, as I’d rather choose my cried from across the fediverse.

I so appreciate your candor here Lawrie. Don’t hold back!
