@fasterthanlime How's that look?

@dpiponi then again it’s quite buggy. Just tried again and got nothing. Lol.

@dpiponi Often their name is enough if they have it in their profile. Also a part of the handle should work. I was able to find you by searching for piponi since you don’t have your name in your profile.

@Tigerburn Excellent! You will like it here.

Drinking the after-mentioned beverage tonight, I sometimes wonder if I am the only one at the center of the venn diagram of #rust #emacs, #progressive, #bebop and #lagavulin, if not let me know. We can probably be friends.

@timClicks Who's our cult leader? Who's our god?

@Tigerburn follow people too.

@Tigerburn put hash tags of your interests in your profile.

@yuvipanda I have that problem with eglot occasionally but only on windows. Have to kill the task 🥵

@radehi TIL!

@radehi Thanks, I use that because some people think ambihelical is some kind of sexual thing....lol. The reference is the semi-famous visual joke about the ambihelical hexnut.

@radehi Yes it's broken, admins are aware.

@obi @hartree @lucifargundam @freemo

Sure I understand people get wild hairs in strange places. I'm just trying to maximize my ability to connect with people I actually might enjoy have a beer with, and that have relatively tame hairs.

If there's nothing better to be found I will be staying, I don't have any problem with qoto other than being siloed off from part of the fediverse that I *might* want to talk to.

@obi @hartree @lucifargundam @freemo Sure, I know that, it is how I got here. Kind of my point. Why is qoto being blocked by another instance there? It's a little confusing tbh.

@hartree @lucifargundam @obi @freemo

The instance I was particularly interested in was democracy.town, I don't want to follow anyone there, but I could see it happening. But I've also noticed vmst.io blocks qoto. It's also not on that automated list, so not sure what that's about. I had to go to its github source to find it out. Neither are huge, but it is concerning that qoto is on any legit instance's block list. vmst.io is an instance listed on joinmastodon.org, and democracy.town was listed on a list of politically oriented instances that I googled, the only center-ish one there as far as I could tell. I was looking for a recommendation for a twitter migrant who tweets political stuff.

I want to be #movingservers, I'm looking for a fairly well moderated and rarely blocked server. My current server is blocked by too many instances for various reasons. It would be nice if it supported #latexmath rendering, was STEM or technology oriented and had a decent chance of being around in 10 years. Any ideas?

@obi @johnnylogic I just noticed democracy.town blocks qoto.org, they seem to have a strange idea about this instance:

"False, dangerous medical conspiracy theories, racism, homophobic, transphobia. "

I sent a polite email to the admin requesting it be removed. We'll see what happens.

@ryand3rk I suppose, but I am not sure manchin is really a democrat 🙂

@TNLNYC Some servers allow up to 65535 characters... 🙂
