The saga of qoto has a good moral to it.
No matter how hard you grovel and apologize, the mob isn't buying it. You always are and will be a bigot. You might as well just start embracing the views people don't want you to because otherwise you're going to be more lonely than a failed twitch streamer crying about no donations again.

@PhenomX6 When one group of stupid punks tells you off, the wise response is not to go hook up with another group of stupid punks -- it's to blow off all the stupid punks and act like an adult.
@DecaturNature Unfortunately for you, those "stupid punks" are the people in tech companies, or have ties to it, or they're in positions of power. It's like calling your manager names, that's cool now you're fired.
Which means that you end up in a great situation where you're now barely blocked more than pedophilia-supporting instances, the only people you can federate with now are the "Nazis", the people you utterly hate. You can't do anything about it, Eugen has already chosen it for you, and many instances will even copy/paste from each others blocklists without even asking you.

@PhenomX6 @DecaturNature qoto redemption nazi arc begins?
@PhenomX6 Could you tell me where you found that blocklist? I haven't been able to find that feature. But anyway, I'm not concerned about any of those servers blocking QOTO.
As for Eugen Rochko, he may have a central role in the Mastodon network, but that doesn't amount to real power, even if Mastodon usage were 10x as great as Twitter. For instance, the Mastodon company that he is CEO of has a total of 4 employees (including himself)
Online, if you try to be leftist and cater to that group when you're turbo canceled x5000, you're not going to make it. You won't get friends, you won't get people ready to help you stay up. Instead you'll get people sending you the joke about the leopards eating faces party.
You will never ever win their purity spirals, ever. It's a fool's game. You have to use the correct terms for certain groups, worship the correct groups, and support the right policies on cue. Break ranks with even one and you're the next Glinner or JK Rowling, and at least they managed to find a niche since they just so happened to not be the only people breaking ranks with said viewpoint. If you apologize it's even worse, you can grovel all you want and they'll continue to go after you until you're either deleting all your accounts and fading into obscurity or doing a flip.
