I'm going back to Mastodon. I'm tired of having a minimum of one dumbass reply "I have no clue what you're talking about" every time I make a post.

It's starter packs. I had a bunch of people follow me thinking I'm going to spoon-feed and dumb down every post because I'm in a journalism starter pack and are then astonished when they realise the reason these bizarre impenetrable posts are in their timeline is because they in fact follow me.

I don't want a follower count. I literally have that disabled on Mastodon.

I suspect I won't accrue as many followers without the pox that is starter packs.

@mastodon doesn’t have an account here (and the link doesn’t open the app) but are they any closer to solving the ‘prove you’re a person without begging to be doxed’ equation? Or is that equation still treated like alchemy?

Sorry you’re having such a bad time. You contribute so much to the site. What about changing your interaction options? It would suck to not be able to reply to you unless a mutual, but would be better than having you not be around
