Today's events demonstrate that you really need your own instance on the #Fediverse.
My biggest mistake was using my dick_turpin@mastodon.org.uk account, which then put that instance owner in a difficult position which made me very concerned for them, TBH.

in reply to Shredni Vashtar • •I posted a comment on someone's post about how their pictures were really good and that they should create an account on Hive so they could earn money for their work. It was a genuine attempt to show them somewhere they could earn some money. I don't even think I mentioned Crypto? The individual just told me to "FUCK OFF", and then the next thing I know; their weenie friends started reporting me to Sem. I was a bit worried for an hour or so.
