So half of this article is about Wil Wheaton getting "canceled" on Mastodon, but instead of objecting to it or exploring the implication the author spends most of his words ranting about how much he hates Wil Wheaton.
The other half of the article is about how Reddit is censorious, and has been getting worse at that over the years, and thus the fact that Lemmy is a "Reddit clone" means it must be bad. Completely missing the fact that the reason for Lemmy's popularity is because it is not as censorious as Reddit, and is a clone in terms of features only rather than in terms of management, And also that Lemmy is not Mastodon.
This is kind of weird.
Wil left Mastodon in 2018. The following 5 years have seen the Mastodon userbase change pretty significantly. Meanwhile the techrights site reports a self signed cert, so the odds that this site has any legitimate value whatsoever is essentially zero.
The author is kinda crazy. I am sad Wil Wheaton got bullied off of Mastodon.
When did this happen?

According to his posts, he was being reported 60 times a day, and an admin suspended his account. Were the people reporting him just 4chan chodelets or was it a different group?
Thanks for sharing. Yikes.
