Fedi friend of mine @kkarhan@infosec.space got his account suspended because the admin of that instance is an absolute jackass, gave him 7 days to move instances before he suspended him for no reason.

Please, go show him support and follow his new account at @kkarhan@jorts.horse, he's an awesome guy to follow!!
(Also, this should be obvious but do not harass the admin of the infosec instance.)

Alright that thread is proof enough. I first assumed the new account was an imposter and didn't follow back - I assume many others do the same unfortunately.

Jerry is someone who abuse their admin role. If they don’t like you, instead of blocking you personally, they block you from 11,000 users on their site. Those people are unaware that Jerry is controlling who they can and cannot interact with. As a result, someone you follow mysteriously vanishes, and you’re not likely to notice, since 3, or 4 people missing out of the 100+ you follow goes unnoticed.Fedi has the same problem as forums: often, the wrong type of people run them

@Linux he runs quite a lot of sites iirc.

As I said, the Fediverse has the same problem that forum communities had.
It is the same type of person who would run many communities and attempt to control the narrative over all of them. So if you were to leave and try to escape that madness, you’d likely unknowingly stumble upon one of theirs, all while being suppressed across many communities.
And, of course, the users within their ecosystem, numbering in the thousands, are completely unaware, since it happens low-key.

@linkachus17 @mrmasterkeyboard If you don't want to comb through all of K's toots and re-toots. Jerry states:
"I tried handling this privately with you. I've warned you several times, and yet you continue. There is no duress here. You have 7 days to find a different instance.
No one has asked me to do this. I am taking this action because I’m tired of handling your disagreements that you goad people into and then report for replying. I’m done. You can find someone else to moderate your constant disagreements. Moderating on the fediverse is a challenging job as it it. Creating pointless work for me is not helping."
We can infer K engaged in behavior that was taxing for his sever mods, and despite private warnings, continued to do so as K doesn't contest these from what I've seen. K has migrated to a server, jortshorse, where the admin's name is literally "killeveryhetero" that has a profile description "power abusing trash admin". K now using a server with an admin name that jokes at killing people should be an objective indicator that he doesn't jive with rule 1, "Do unto others as you think they would want done to them." of infosecSpace
Interestingly, the user LinuxIsBest going off on Jerry being part of some narrative conspiracy in this thread has something of a long ban history in fedimeta such as: mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115446974181831051
Disclaimer: The instance I'm on is ran by Jerry. I was not paid or otherwise influenced to write this post. I'm not a mod on any of the things Jerry runs, just a basic user -
