So a bunch of y'all seem super confused about why I'm here and why I left so here goes.

As many of you may know, I've been on 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 , I left Gab for , 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 was a far better experience than being on .

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 ), 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 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 's reputation in the , 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; 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 , 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 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.

@design_RG Im not sure I have much hope in the DNC. I'm just not sure they have the competence to get much done anymore. I wish they did cause Trump is horrific,

I will pray tonight to lain. May he forgive my sins and make pleromaFE faster

I deployed @glowposter even though it's not finished. Unblocks aren't implemented yet and code is spaghetti.
Now every user of gameliberty.club can know who blocked them.
It's currently going through the backlog, so most of the blocks will be old.

@realcaseyrollins @J @clown@banana.dog I think that Gab only blocks individual accounts plus it has a broken UI and federated posts federate, but don't show up in a thread.

When the pot calls the kettle black 

Flashback to last month and less than a week ago, where Jake Tapper’s network was portraying the coronavirus outbreak as entirely a diversity and prejudice issue.

The problem with the idea of media as a corrective to Trump is that they share every one of his pathologies.

Socialism is very attractive to those who either cannot or will not pull their own weight. The gimme group.

@AbbieNormal

On the #QOTO instance I think you are reading its home page according to your prejudices.

@freemo once wrote a great post about the reasons behind QOTO and its policies.

I can't find it anymore, but QOTO is basically a place to learn from each other with an open mind.
That's why I find it actually great. I think that's how the #fediverse should be.

That's why I'm talking with you.

I'd like to _understand_ your perspective and whenever I see something I don't understand, I underline it to let you clarify.
