The same people who might cheer you up, when you're creating drama, are the ones who silently avoid you when it comes to working together. Because drama is only fun when it affects other people, not you.

And going by what Simona Vetter said in the mailing list, this is not the first time:

[Vetter] And this isn't the first time or the second, by now it's a pretty clear pattern over some years. And with the first I could explain why you [Hector Martin] react like that and you had my full understanding, but eventually that runs a bit thin as an excuse. Now I'm left with the unlikely explanation that you just like thundering in as the cavalry, fashionably late, maximally destructive, because it entertains the masses on fedi [Mastodon?] or reddit or wherever.

And being off social media will both decrease the odds Martin creates drama, and reduce the visibility of the drama he creates.
