   "I am following this account for news about, well, gaming on Linux. I'd appreciate it if you could stick to the content I, and I expect most others, are following this account for."

   If this is you. Don't follow me. And anyone sending me that shit will be blocked. I am an actual person, not a robot, thanks.

     @andymccall@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social No, I don't, I asked him to stick to the topic his entire account exists for. He even has a personal account for this kind of nonsense. But I guess shitting on people is his preferred method of dealing with constructive cricism.

     @gamingonlinux lol, I can't understand what would be going through someone's head when writing that.

     Do they honestly think they have a right to force you to do what they want you to do?

     @tyil @gamingonlinux @andymccall That's right. I think gamingonlinux just wants to shove his stupid opinions on unwilling listeners.

     @coin@asimon.org @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social @andymccall@mastodon.social It feels good to have a following and then thrash on other people. Good people can resist this, others cannot.
     
     The public shaming bit that he's doing now just makes him a pretentious bully. It's very sad that this happens, and doesn't really improve any community in any way. He could've just said "no", and I would've unfollowed him and everyone would be happy.

     @andymccall@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social You've got no right to ask anythingUhhh, yes I do? That's why it's asking, and not demanding. I can ask anything of everyone, and they're also free to say no.you can either like it or ignore itYes, that's why I unfollowed him. I told him my grievance, and he told me to go fuck myself. Immediately trying to publicly shame me for having standards is just downright pathetic on his end, though.You're not in control of what topics they cover with any of their accounts, regardless of the account nameCorrect. It's a bit silly to advertise this as the way to follow Gaming On Linux on the Fediverse when the vast majority of posts is not related to it these days, though.To think otherwise is simply undeserved entitlementThe entitlement is not on my end here, I feel. I'd suggest taking a couple seconds to breathe.

     ...but that's the thing....

     You've got no right to ask anything of them whatsoever. They can do WTF they want and you can either like it or ignore it.

     You're not in control of what topics they cover with any of their accounts, regardless of the account name.

     To think otherwise is simply undeserved entitlement.
