I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

Wait, why does George takei attract magas?
Or is he just a well known & largely followed person on bluesky?

Its because he's their most prominent gay, non-white opponent. They don't like it when he reminds them he actually experienced American concentration camps before they were moved to El Salvador.

Oh, you mean a decent real human? Yeh, that makes sense they would target him

Well known, largely followed, and often roasts the Trump admin. Same with Mark Hamill. (and yes, GT being gay and open about it does not help!)
