    They have a large following on Mastodon so this doesn’t really make much sense. I’m inclined to believe that they left due to the hate they were getting because of the recent controversy.

      Yeah. They can’t get Mastodon moderators to suppress negative publicity like they can on Reddit and other platforms.

        They haven’t left bluesky but they got backlash there too and have stopped being active for the past couple of weeks compared to on Twitter.

        And considering a lot of people on the internet make comments without being fully informed, the backlash is probably huge.

        Hate is spreading a lot quicker than the truth.

        However, the original Twitter post and their doubling down are just stupid responses and they shouldn’t have made them.
