   If you're wondering why everyone's talking about Seth Abramson and his complete and utter Mastodon failure, here's the post.

   TL;DR: Mastodon is "harrowing" because he got banned 😱

   And if you don't want to give post.news clicks, here's a screenshot.

     @atomicpoet some men would rather write whole screeds on being banned than go to therapy 🤦♂️

     Seth Abramson wasted so much time—and words—on a whole lot of moral panic.

     Oh no. You can get banned.

     That's never happened anywhere, ever, in the history of the Internet.

     Now I'm going to have to dig through @stux's posts to figure out his perspective on what happened.

     I bet that Seth Abramson did something ill-conceived.

     @atomicpoet everything he said happened to me on twitter.

     Except the moderation was by a robot that couldn't pass the scunthorpe test, which made me trying to argue my point quite difficult.

     Here, I can set up my own instance if I wanted to.

     I know I'm preaching, if not to the choir, then to the pastor, but far out.

     @me But I mean, with that temper tantrum, would @stux really want him back? I know I wouldn't.

     @atomicpoet I think @stux said something about it not having been done by them, and that it was one of their moderators. Last I heard, they were looking into it.

     I read through it and have followed him on Twitter for years. He's done good reporting. Comes across for this though as someone who assumes there's nothing to learn, nothing to know and then has a sad when he does something to get banned. I've signed on to 5 instances and have had no trouble with any of them, just enjoyment and new connections, esp at .art.
     His loss I guess.
     The Wired article about Mast. that I point people to really helped me grok how it works and why.

     @atomicpoet So he is upset he had a bad experience with one instance, and so advocates going somewhere where there is only one possible instance to join? Okay, buddy.
