"Probably not" just turned into "definitely not."
All of the people I know, here, who are worth talking to are also on other sites and almost all of them are people I know in the real world.

The final straw was the dogpiling from the people who were angry because I understood basic English grammar. I'm laughing as I'm writing this, but it and they were obnoxious.

The (whatever it was) that said that "bullying works" and seemed to think that HE (there's that generic masculine) would be able to use it to deprive me of my literacy was mildly amusing in a daytime talk show sort of way, but not worth my while.

The deal breaker, from my point of view, wasn't just that these assholes were present on the site, it's that, aside from people I'd still know even without an Internet connection, I was left facing that mob of assholes, alone.
Not that I'm terribly surprised, any more.

You (the followers) traded in that I was about to post, the math, the science, the engineering, the photos of places in Chicago the tourist guides don't tell you about in exchange for ... what? The freak show? That's what you wanted?
OK. Whatever. 🤣 Over and out.

I'm out of patience. I've appealed the decision. If the decision is overturned, maybe I'll be back. If it isn't, I definitely won't be. Even if it is, I probably still won't be.
Seriously, arguments about whether or not it's OK for me to want to be called "he" instead of "they"?

Canadians who expect to see the United States invaded and occupied because it put a tariff on their goods, and can get rebuttals to their arguments censored just by crying to Bluesky?
This is looking like the Hellsite that other people have called it.

At best, these are some of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. I've got better places to be and better things to do.
The link to my blog is still there. Maybe I'll use the thing, but I wouldn't count on that.

What would be the point? Where, outside of the Internet, am I likely to even run into such lunacy, much less see it enabled through the user of capricious censorship?

This industry has been run by flakes for flakes since the beginning, and it has the long line of business failures that one should expect to see come out of such priorities. In one way or another, it keeps turning into "the place where data goes to die."

If I had no other place to share my content, maybe I'd be tempted to put up with this nonsense, but that has never been the case.

The Internet has been a massive net liability and drain on my time, because I've made the foolish mistake of giving chance after chance after chance to those who've never made the least effort to reform, and in the process I've run into some of the worst people I've ever met.
Enough is enough.

In the real world, if somebody drops by one of my lectures or a reading I'm doing and starts screaming about the fact that I won't use "they" as a singular noun (or something equally stupid), Security will be showing that person the way out very quickly, and that will be the end of that.

But online, I get stuck dealing with the lies that person will tell, only to find bits and pieces of my side of the side of the story suddenly vanishing down the memory hole, as some mod decides that reality is whatever he wants it to be.

Dealing with that drama isn't doing good things for my writing, because I'm stuck going into exhaustive detail debunking bad faith replies from the most boring and stupid people alive. I come in hoping to write about Science and Art, and find myself stuck on an episode of the Jerry Springer Show.
