Reasons to defederate from Mastodon.social and Mastodon.online: Eugen would open registrations without consulting or preparing his mod team at the time, after agreeing to keep them closed (this went on over and over after he had promised not to do it again).
He would, in the early days, insist that Mastodon.social was not a flagship instance, and then open a second server, still owned and run by him. (second server is Mastodon.online)
He would promise no algorithms and then create the explore page without input. And the trending hashtags without establishing it with the community.
He surrounds himself with yes sayers, and if you want to stay in his good graces you need to take a fair amount of abuse if you disagree with him.
He would (I have not recent data points on this) throw a disabled partner's, as in business, disability back in their face when not wanting to work with them any more.
The community asked for years for a Mastodon Nonprofit, so we'd be responsible together. He eventually created one with himself as the sole founder, and no other members (as far as I've been able to find.)
All hail the Benevolent Dictator For Life.
(rewrote because some faulty info, but added some stuff I know got sure, as I do not want to give reason to be called a liar.)
