POLL: Do you agree with Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko's decision to unban Wil Wheaton? Vote below.
@MNNHNewsEnglish why was he banned?
@Loukas Assuming the question is serious, he wasn't banned. He left due to the incredible amount of abuse he received when he moved here from Twitter in 2017. And no, he wasn't targeted by extreme far right people, but by LGBT keyboard warriors, in case you were wondering.
Ironically, they accused him of having used on Twitter a public blocklist that (without his knowledge) included some trans people. I say ironically, because fediblock is a thing here, and his attackers use it daily.
@Loukas He was really nice, but he won't come back. He was the first high-profile person who actually left Twitter for Fedi. Before that, William Shatner had tested the waters for a while, but he didn't really enjoy himself here and went back.
@josemanuel I see that. Being the first prominent name was always going to be a difficult experience.
@josemanuel thank you, it was a serious question. I hope he comes back, he seems nice.
