   So Seth Abramson is one of the sloppiest public thinkers I have ever encountered, who circa 2016 helped invent the rhetorical style of the buckle-up-for-some-politics Twitter mega-thread. He has advised people who listen to him that they should avoid "Mastodon" (he means the Fediverse I think).

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

     @darius Sloppy thinking indeed: He attributes the decision of one moderator of one instance to the whole of Mastodon. He probably deserved it, but he can always find or create another instance.

     @darius I like that the only reason he can think of for his suspension is "I linked to post.news"; the possibility of "the server admin did not want Seth Abramson on their server" does not even occur.

     @darius the top comment is "Interesting. I never joined Mastodon because I couldn’t figure out the business model. "

     @darius i really love this is the point these people keep bringing up over and over, while at the same time Bari Weiss is over at twitter just casually perusing through people's dms

     @powerllama @darius “anonymous overlords” — what kind of creepy server are they on?

     That said I do think it could be more clear that DMs are like putting a note on a coworker’s office door— not like sending an encrypted email. Though who ever used twitter dms for anything sensitive anyway?
