I've discovered I'm blocked by a few people in the last few weeks. Quite shocking as I don't think my stuff is that controversial.
People I don't recall ever having talked to, let alone been confrontational with (I've had my moments but I'm generally pretty chilled). About 50% are on my server, beige.
I only know this because they are in chains with mutuals who I really like and when I go back in the conversation it's blocked out.
I try not to think too much about this. Everyone is not for everyone. Also, I might be (am) annoying, I get that. I guess, in my way of using Mastodon I mute the boring and block the bad folks, so assume other people do the same.
Being blocked feels like I've done something bad or upset someone so much they never want to hear from me again. That's fair enough, their prerogative, and I don't want to be where I'm unwelcome. No hard feelings.
But a part of me wants to know why, so I can either moderate or refine what I say, or accept it may annoy some people.
Nobody is obliged to listen to me, I don't expect that, and if you objectively reject listening to me that's absolutely correct.
I'm talking to people who won't see any of this, but if I offended or offend you, I apologise
I can't promise I'll change though.
