Every time I decide to post a thread to Mastodon, I'm hit with a new wave of mansplaining. What is it with the culture here? Why do all of these guys think it's so important to share their deep insights in my mentions when they can just post on their own feed? FFS.
@emilymbender I don't think it's just you: my experience of Mastodon is that it can be stereotyped as mansplaining German linux nerds (with a secondary population of queer trans furry sysadmins).
At least we don't seem to have any Nazi billionaires (except for that Trump Guy running his own fork called truth.something) …

@jesuisatire
This is the second time in this thread you have told Prof Bender she is unwelcome on this platform. Reported you and blocked your account.

@Gargron I wonder if the automatic mentioning fill out could be turned off.
There are so often so many comments who are not even meant to be directed to the original author of a toot. Or they were written with not really believing it really reaches the person addressed (as it is on other networks).
But as the author got filled out without any questioning people believe it should be this way and leave it there not thinking how annoying it is to be mentioned without really being addressed.
So could you please turn off the auto-fill-mentioning?
So we get a healthier selection of toots that are really for us on purpose? Because we are only addressed if people really want to address us?
it's still possible to look at all the comments on purpose anyway... -

@cstross @emilymbender It's depressing to see how regularly they come out of the woodwork to assert their right to mansplain.

@emilymbender that's sad. I appreciate your posts and insights, please continue sharing them here.

@jesuisatire Who do you think you are? Sit down and stop trying to kick people off of the platform. And in general, be better.

@lienrag and yet the posts are not actually constructive contributions but often explaining things back to me as if I haven't been writing about them for years.
But do go on: how does mansplaining work again?
@emilymbender @lienrag I was thinking I have often found it less mansplainy than others networks then I looked at your area of expertise and thought oooohhhh yeah that's going to be rough around here.

@emilymbender I absolutely adore threads like this! I ban everyone in them -- both the mansplainers and the ones complaining about mansplaining

@ZDL @emilymbender did they started their replies with "let me explain to you because you have a vagina" or you just assumed that?
I previously scrolled trough that post, I cannot go back now because the Professor has blocked me, but people were just sharing their own experiences, that's all.
If you are an expert in an area doesn't mean that other people cannot share an experience or have an opinion in the area.
@atanasoff Jesus Christ. What is your problem? @ZDL

I didn't see the exact posts you were referring to but so I may be wrong, but generally the idea of posting in response to someone is to produce a conversation, which many consider to be the goal of social medias.
@lienrag my friend, allow me to remark on two aspects of your post:
1) Not every post needs a response, and not every response is useful
2) “media” is already plural -

@jesuisatire I saw this. Stop doubling down on the mansplaining.
