When all of our kind, delicate, thin-skinned friends on the Left started jumping ship after evil Elon Musk bought Twitter to head to this new Lefty Utopia called Mastodon I thought to myself, ‘Self, you know they won’t approve you when you sign up, LET’S DO IT.’
So I meandered over to this Left-friendly, anti-capitalist site to see how quickly they’d turn me away. I was totally honest about my handle, my name, even used the same avi knowing for sure once they saw I was THAT FOO, they’d block my account faster than Bette Midler could flip out about Trump returning to Twitter …
But I was wrong.
After maybe 30 minutes to ‘review’ my account and request they let me in.
I.
Was.
Shocked.
Hey, if I’m being honest part of the reason I wanted to sign up was so I could hop on for my VIP post and write about how the Lefty site turned the innocent conservative bunny away but that didn’t happen.
In fact, when I finally got online and figured out what was what (guys, it is super confusing with multiple servers and groups and … I go sorta braindead reading a bunch of BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER nonsense anyway) there was this nice little account that offered to show me around. It followed me.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty sus myself.
Truth be told, I didn’t spend much time over on Mastodon because BORING but then today I saw someone talking about getting suspended from the peace, love, and rainbows platform for promoting capitalism SO I thought I’d check in. And suddenly my info was gone, my picture was gone, my bio was gone … and I had to basically sign in all over again.
But I didn’t get any sort of notice that I’d been suspended or rejected, so what gives?
Over on Mastodon – the obscure refuge to which liberal journalists are fleeing in fear of free speech even though they can't figure it out – they're already banning each other over the most trivial infractions.

Oooh, that’s right … it sucks.
That’s what’s going on.
Mastodon seems like a honeytrap for hall-monitor personality types. Honestly if Elon gets all the hall monitors to migrate to Mastodon that might be his greatest contribution toward the betterment of humanity. https://t.co/fwTHX4DNp3

Seriously.
It’s a mess.
in 13 years on twitter i’ve never had a post removed, and in 3 weeks on mastodon i’ve already had something taken down for racism and sexism, ok pic.twitter.com/JhpKCxDNv0

Dammit, this should be me. HA HA HA HA HA
I’m sure they’ll suspend me here eventually, will keep you all posted.
