I pretty much never look at my follower count anymore, but I did for the first time in a while yesterday. Then again this morning after changing my name and avatar. Bunch of unfollows. WHO IS UNFOLLOWING FOR TRANS RIGHTS ON FEDI????? I assume everyone is on board for trans rights down here. Or is it because my name isn't whimsical enough. TrBens RightBens? This doesn't work at all.

@TheBreadmonkey It had the opposite effect for me. <3
@TheBreadmonkey That is startling. Let's hope it's something else, but I am equally disturbed. Maybe they were all bots? I don't go through and kick out questionable follows, so I probably have some like that.
@TheBreadmonkey it’s amazing that people will unfollow because of an identity.
As I’ve seen in other comments, those people are not worth having as followers.
@TheBreadmonkey
We have a term for that: "The trash taking itself out".
@TheBreadmonkey it's a great way to filter out bad people! 🤩
@TheBreadmonkey there's a whole lot of joyless harassing reply guy assholes on Mastodon lately, always makes me wonder if there's been an influx from the Nazi bar... your unconditional support for all people is a beautiful thing
@TheBreadmonkey assume some people are jerks & you’re better off without them. Quality over quantity, Sir Benzalot!
I didn't intend for this to be a thing. I just like to say trans rights ocassionally for a lil bit of visibility / support. But it's nice that people are engaging with it. Power to you, frens. 😊 
@TheBreadmonkey Thanks, really needed to see this today <3

You take that back. It's not about popularity. It is simply volume and volume (I post a lot, loudly). You are terrific and I think you are the bees pyjamas. 😊❤️
Weird or what. I see so much of you in my timeline, I thought I was following you already. I am now.
@TheBreadmonkey trans rights said right said Ben
@TheBreadmonkey Ben, i wish I could follow you again for supporting trans rights.
@TheBreadmonkey Support TransBENder People?
I cannot believe I didn't see that
@TheBreadmonkey @afewbugs Another option: get Bent! ;)
@TheBreadmonkey
I just followed you because of the Trans rights name, so 🤷
