Note to hachyderm.io users, who can't see this on their server (which I'm mentioning because another one just asked me about it):
the hachyderm admins blocked me personally - if you try to follow me from hachyderm, it lies and tells you this account is "suspended" - and i still have no idea why
coincidentally Nivenly, the company running hachyderm, got into an AI grift and I loudly called it an AI grift. This suggests the reasons are simple and commercial.
they have apparently denied that their AI grift was the reason but haven't said what the reason was
and they haven't contacted me at all and certainly nobody is paying me enough to bother to contact these weirdos
it's a mastodon feature: forum admins with poster's madness
so basically find a non-shitty server or spin up an akkoma yourself
feel free to copy and forward this as appropriate
edit: there was apparently a bug raised, and i'm definitely not wasting my time attempting communication with these circumlocutious scammy sounding weirdos. Perhaps you will wish to. https://github.com/hachyderm/community/issues/579
edit 2: it's their feudal pissheap and they're allowed not to like me! that they lie that my account is "suspended" and go into sub-GPT blathering when asked why is, I submit, a good reason to reevaluate hitching your wagon to their hungover seaside donkey
@davidgerard jfc the responses from the admin in that gh issue...
That's a whole lot of words for a whole lot of nothing.
@willow it's possible i told one to fuck off at some point and this is the retaliation. given their sub-GPT blathering, they undoubtedly deserved it
@davidgerard Ahaha, telling someone to fuck off is often completely justified and not a reason for an admin to prevent an entire server of people from being able to see what you write.
@willow again i don't *know* this is the reason, but this post does tell them to fuck off again
