  @JoeBeam Nope, but I'm sure enjoying the additional reach publishing that anonymized, unsolicited hate-mail is getting for my talk, to say nothing of the new members that have signed up for the org I've devoted my life to for 20+ years.

  @JoeBeam The partner of the boyfriend being a woman is statistically likely, but it is an assumption you're making.
  There's no personally identifying information in the quoted message.

  @JoeBeam @defcon @eff As noted in my bio, I post long threads from this account and there are many ways to get my essays if my Mastodon style doesn't suit - RSS, newsletter, Medium, Tumblr, a blog, etc. I recommend unfollowing me here and subscribing to one of those if you prefer. Links at pluralistic.net.

  I am going to unfollow you because of the enshittifacation of my timeline by your unnecessarily long threads and prolific reposting.
  I enjoy your writing and have pluristic bookmarked.
  I am on Mastodon as a casual user and to avoid the kinds of practices you are employing to sell your self.
  Have a great weekend!

  @pluralistic @JoeBeam Post format makes me wonder, what about using the official Wordpress ActivityPub plugin on your blog? This way people can follow it on the fediverse but get single posts instead of monologue threads?
