I wasn't trying to rebuke you. I was just genuinely confused because I haven't ever seen such drama go down at all. I just use mastodon the way I used to use twitter, which is to say, i scroll through it every now and then and see posts by my favorite podcast hosts. Most of them are on mastodon.social and most of the rest have self-hosted instances of their own. Nobody's defederated anybody amongst these instances that I know of, so I wasn't aware it was a big problem on the mainstream instances. Anyway, clearly the "Fediverse" doesn't work for you. Okay. All these platforms have downsides, and unless one's willing to go all the way to DIY kind of stuff, yup, we're going to be subject to the whims of someone we hope will be generally benign in their actions. LMK if you discover a way around that.
