      Maybe you could try not following him if you don’t like it. 🤔

        Tough luck if we’re on the same instance and I follow the instance’s timeline.

        It’s still dumb to use a microblogging platform for blogging.

        And how else would I annoy someone?

      He does what, now? Can you post some links/examples? Is it because he posts long threads?

        0x0 doesn’t know how to mute people on mastodon and/or has difficulty understanding that when you choose to see all posts on a server, you’ll see all posts on a server.

          I do know how to mute. I choose not to.

          I also know mastodon is for microblogging.

          I guess rather than trying to look like the hacker wannabe 'cos my ego’s so cool and can thread my shit thoughout multiple posts to work around post limits I’d just post to an actual blog.

          It would require a modicum of civility though, which is hard to find amongst keyboard warriors.

          Sorry if I.don’t lose any sleep over downvotes. :)

      He always strikes me as the kind of person that confuses his moderately deep knowledge of a limited topic set with the type of thinking that makes him an over-confident expert on a much larger variety of topics. Like when economists start making declarations about climate change science.

        That’s common on people celebrated on a very specific field and why most Cessna accident victims are doctors and lawyers.

          Mmm. Maybe. I think it might be because doctors and lawyers can more-readily afford their own plane. It’s not a cheap hobby.

          …also because they’re the highest earning tier of the upper middle class, and Cessna’s are an extremely common manufacture with a lot of relatively low cost options.

          Most of their customers are probably upper middle class types, very small regional airlines, and people who run charter businesses.

          I’d assume that between the professional pilots, and the hobbyists, you’ll find the former has lower crash rates.

          It’d be more surprising if their was a lot of garbage men, or teachers, who crash Cessna’s, or any plane.

        You are right.

        Imho he is and always was a pretty insufferable guy who makes some good points.

        This has been the case since at least Boingboing times
