It's with a heavy heart that I'm moving to another instance. This will be the 3rd server I've used in the very short time since I started using Mastodon.

I'm not moving because I don't like #qoto.org — it's a wonderful community. I also appreciate the many useful features which its operators have added.

Unfortunately after the recent nazi attack at least one other well known instance, #hachyderm.io, has "suspended" (blocked) qoto. The reason given on their about page is 'Federating hate speech in the name of "free speech"', which is TOTAL FUCKING #BULLSHIT! Hate speech isn't tolerated here as evidenced by even the most casual glance at the local timeline.

Unfortunately there's at least one person on that instance whose posts I enjoy. Since the whole point of being on Mastodon is communication, this unfair disruption by the #hachyderm leadership has forced this move. While I hope that @nova@hachyderm.wtf (interesting that they themself recently moved away from hachy…) comes to their senses, I'm not waiting around.
