This doesn’t pass the smell test, as someone that has followed the Greens for years. If you thought his actions were “tone policing” then I’m immediately questioning your actions, since all I’ve seen is a standup guy and educator. I’m happy to be corrected with a link, but I’m not seeing what you’re talking about.

Ugh it’s like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he’s a fragile little sad boy.
Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.

fragile little sad boy
…Isn’t he being treated for cancer?

He was and he’s now cancer free.

I’m familiar with Hank Green, but I don’t actually follow him or have a bluesky account. Can you provide a link to an example or an explanation of what you mean?
shaggyb@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Sorry, I have stuff to do today. You’re just as capable of looking him up.
Zomg@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yeah, except what you consider as tone policing and someone else is completely different. This smells like you don’t want to stand up to your claim.

I didn’t mention it in my original comment, but I did actually do a search, and the only thing I found was him talking about how bluesky is better because it doesn’t do suppression of external links. Bluesky itself does not load with my current settings so I can’t scroll through his posts, but his recent YouTube videos seem pretty normal/benign from just the titles. Seems weird to unnecessarily attack Hank Green, but I am gonna guess that’s what they’re doing because I cannot find example or article him being problematic.
