Wow. I hadn’t heard that Wil Wheaton was bullied off Mastadon.
Here’s his blog post if you haven’t read it yet.
I wonder if he could be convinced that Nostr is that “smaller community that was more like Twitter was way back in 2008 or 2009. Cat pictures! Jokes! Links to interesting things that we found in the backwaters of the internet! Interaction with friends we just haven’t met, yet!”
nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 you were asking about left-leaning non-bitcoiners to get on your podcast. You should go after Wil Wheaton.
The reason he left Twitter is because they *didn't* kick off Alex Jones yet. I'm not sure he's ready to accept a world that contains people he doesn't like. Little Wesley Crusher still has some growing up to do.
That being said, I'd be happy for him to join us.
I’d like to think Wil learned a valuable lesson that if Alex Jones can get kicked off of Twitter, maybe Wil Wheaton can get kicked off of Mastadon. Besides, that wasn’t really his complaint anyway. He doesn’t say it outright, but it’s clear his real issue is with the Twitter algorithm, to which I think we can all relate.
And please give up on the “Little Wesley Crusher” crap. That’s so ‘90s, and not the nostalgic kind. If you’ve read his blog, you’ll see he’s “grown up” into an amazing human being.
I'll take your word for it that he is a great guy. Everybody should be reading my denigration of Wil for what it is - the pointing out of a common human flaw, not an attack on a person I do not know.
If I feel like denigrating someone, I'm gonna. Based on that blog post, he deserved it. I don't know him from Adam except from Star Trek so that why I made the reference. The fact is that anybody who cannot accept that the world has all kinds of people in it, and wants to magically disappear all the people they hate, hasn't grown up. It's a widespread problem.
