The #Fediverse has more freedom but also censorship, if that makes any sense.

Seriously tho do you guys really think the #Fediverse will be the future of social media? I do think it's possible, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I love how the #Fediverse can't tell you who to listen to or who not to listen to, and shadowbans are typically transparent, it prevalent at all. Very cool.

Dang. So many friends and family members of #Fediverse peeps are starting to come down with the #Coronavirus 😔 Hopefully, none of y'all get it.

Praying for you guys! 🙏🏾

Good morning #Fediverse

Don't catch the #Coronavirus

What happened to cvcvcv? Was that ever a real #Fediverse user?

So, over roughly the past 10 months or so, I went through a lot. I got wrapped up in a toxic relationship with a girl who was leading me on and my granddad died suddenly, and even worse, I began taking vague advice from people I didn't know very well, who at the time weren't all that mature (although they're showing a lot of growth now), which only made my situation worse.

Through all of this, I've been met with nothing but encouragement and support on the #fediverse. This means a lot to me, especially the support I've gotten (and continue to get) from the real OGs here, who were with me before all the stuff went down.

Thankfully, things are going a lot better right now, although I still have some personal growth to work on. I must say, I don't think I'd be where I am today (mentally) without the support of you guys.

Thank you.

What will it take for the #Fediverse to kill #Twitter?

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.
