So a bunch of y'all seem super confused about why I'm here and why I left #QOTO so here goes.
As many of you may know, I've been on #QOTO for a long time, originally using it as a SFW account, where I wouldn't retoot posts with explicit content, and talk about politics only minimally (although this would go on to change when I would toot during work in the summers while listening to talk radio and such). However, after my frustrations with @a's actions in regards to angrily condemning porn users in a ploy to get more users and attention during #coomergate, I left Gab for #QOTO, using it as my main instance and joining mstdn.social, using that for my SFW account.
For a long time, things were going smoothly. While many were angry that I used to be a Gab user (strangely ignoring the fact that I left it, strongly condemned the rhetoric of Andrew, and refuse to continue to recommend it), and I continued to have haters come at me, but things were great. I was exposed to a larger group of users from broader perspectives, which in many ways meant being on #QOTO was a far better experience than being on #Gab.
Where did things go wrong? Well, not too long ago I made a joke that referenced how chromosomes determine if someone is male or female, which led to backlash from many users (one of whom was and still is an admin at #QOTO), and the thread lasted for around two whole days. In the aftermath, users have apparently been report-bombing the thread, most of whom (from what I have heard from the #QOTO admins) are from hackers.town. I have no idea who these people are, because they have not reached out to me.
Yesterday the admins made me aware of the fact that this is still a problem, and one mentioned that this could negatively impact #QOTO's reputation in the #Fediverse, causing instances to ban it (as mastodon.technology had already done) for being some sort of haven for right wingers, despite the fact that I am one out of very few conservatives over there. After some consideration, I have decided the best things for all parties is to move to gameliberty.club; #QOTO is not far right (it doesn't even lean right lol) and I won't let my presence there cast that appearance on it.
In closing, I have two things to say:
1) Thanks to the admins who have been standing by me since I joined #QOTO, and have all the way up to this moment have been communicating with me and are still willing to support me. I will continue to support them and recommend it as a good #Mastodon instance to join.
2) If you have an issue with me, and me alone, and you aren't a scaredy-cat, just come at me bro. I don't care if it's in the DMs or in public, but don't harass other users and blame them for what I say if you have a problem with any of my posts. I will be glad to expound and clarify, all you have to do is ask.
@khird That would be super cool!
Rolf qoto should ignore hacker.town and mastodon tech and be a free speech instance

Well you are safe here since we already have a bad reputation and many already block us. 
The little reports we get are mostly thrown out.
QOTO is great, but what you're describing is a reason why I don't make alts on instances like it as I don't want to ruin their reputation.
I used to be a Gab user too but left due to Turbo's antics and stances on loli and porn.
@matrix Same! Well, I agree with his stances, but his conduct in the clout-chasing by shaming coomers proved to me that he isn't 100% mentally there
@matrix @realcaseyrollins Ya, a lot of that stuff over there is over the top.

Actually, this looks like a good argument for a new feature - when a mod closes a report, give him a checkbox that says, "This post has been fully examined and found to comply with our terms; reject future reports against it." Then the complainants can continue to file reports but they are silently dropped before landing in the queue.
