Petrichor, that fresh aroma you can smell after the rain, is caused by a little molecule called geosmin. The name literally means "earth smell." It's produced by soil bacteria and gives an earthy flavour to beets.
Humans are extremely sensitive to this scent – much, much more sensitive than sharks are to blood. Some think we evolved that way to find fresh drinking water after droughts.

Unhappiness at people using Mastodon
"I don't like that this person is using Mastodon!"
Cool, then block them, and filter them out of your feed. But a concerted harassment campaign because you don't like someone is a pretty shitty thing to do and is part of the reason many of us left 
in the first place.
Don't do the same kinda shitty behavior. Be better than that.

Isn't it a bit redundant to call it a "rigged" witch hunt? Isn't a witch hunt, by its nature, illegitimate? Where are the honest and fair witch hunts?

“The mood of the wedding anniversary? I feel old, I have no confidence in my heart, I do not believe that I have much time left to me, I do not believe that I shall live to see the end of the Third Reich, and I let myself drift along fatalistically without especial despair and cannot give up hope.”
Excerpt From
I Will Bear Witness, Volume 1: A Diary of the Nazi Years: 1933-1941
