As DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock explains why he's been shut down on Mastodon sm. So he probably is updating that sigline...
"The Mastodon In The Room: Why The Fediverse Isn't All That"

They're non-binary, declare their pronouns, wave their trans flags
high, wear their revolutionary cred on their sleeves — and they're
ready to stomp down dissent at a moment's notice, and be "woke" as a
motherfucker while they do it.
"Don't wanna be an American Idiot,
one nation, controlled by the media —
Information Age of hysteria
is calling out to Idiot America!"
— Green Day
In January of 2018, I found myself rooting around for alternative
social media spaces shortly after receiving this note full of
thinly-veiled threats from Twitter regarding my following and
retweeting "Russian-influenced" accounts. All the cool kids got one.
That spring, after taking a quick peek at Gab (and a long, hot shower
afterwards), I was turned on to Mastodon by a fellow "Russian dupe" on
Twitter. It was during that first wave of Left voices and publications
being bounced off of Twitter for "Russian influence" — i.e.
contradicting the official US media party line. Of course, I got my
ass over there pronto and set up a presence. I didn't mind that the
traffic was a bit thin; it was basically what Twitter would've been
without the trolls, bots, shills, spammers and Nazis — like, detoxed
Twitter...
