A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users. 

Thank you for being a valued user at QOTO.

At this Moment, I am simply a very active user, although I have been nominated for a Staff Moderator position in our December election as announced here.

The opinion expressed here are my own, and might differ from the instance administration.

But I think we NEED some clarification as explained above, or we risk losing valuable members who come here for what QOTO is UNIQUE for.

The S T E M community, science, Engineering, Tech and Math interested people.

Your comments are welcome, thank you for your attention and considering these suggestions.

You can reply either here or via Direct Message to me if you prefer.

Enjoy your stay, friends. Let's make this place better and nicer everyday.

RG signing out. 😉

A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users. 

(continued)

4. About messages that are kind of private, but you don't want them in your Profile Toots List?

You can get that result, some privacy and NOT showing in your profile to a default or anonymous user - - by using the * Followers Only * (closed, locked padlock icon!).

- Your Followers will see the message in their Home feeds.

- They WILL get a notification if their usernames are included.

- They WILL ALSO be able to see those messages later, if visiting your profile.

2. If you have friends in other servers and simply wish to chit chat with them - mostly, not the local users.

This can be done without clutter, if you select 'Unlisted' , the open padlock icon too.

Insert their @ usernames, and they WILL get notified and respond to you, all without cluttering Public timelines.

People who Follow you WILL see Unlisted messages -- they are NOT Private !! 😮

3. Need Privacy?

Use the Direct Message privacy level, and it's like an email - from you to the people included in the message ONLY.

Will not show in any followers feeds, or on your personal profile!

A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users. 

Folks, good morning, hope you all are well. A personal request of mine.

Please consider trying to reduce the amount of General posting, as we have so many short messages with momentary thoughts that more serious posts are getting buried.

A couple of things to suggest, which I think could help:

1. If you post a topic, and follow up with a reply to it soon, talking to yourself with an update, etc.

You can greatly help reduce clutter in the Local timeline (and all the federated ones) if you set the privacy level of the Second and further messages as 'Unlisted'.

They WILL go out, and anyone interested in the first post will see the following replies. These replies will NOT appear in the Local, Home (for your Followers) or Federated feeds.

Keeping it simple - - First post, you can use the Globe icon, Public setting.

Replies to follow - - Use Unlisted, the one with the Open Padlock icon. See illustration below.

There’s a durability to older technology, aside from that capacitor debacle from the 90s. I wonder if older tech in some form will be one of few functioning remnants decades or a century from now

There’s a project called Collapse OS to “Bootstrap post-collapse technology” collapseos.org

Basically tools and programs for the Z80, a proven workhorse for decades available as scavenged parts by the millions

Very #Cyberpunk

BTW this is a paraphrase of a quote by Shodan from System Shock 2

UK politics 

"I’m worried about the return of authoritarian rule. I’m worried about the deepening divisions in society. I’m worried about the wildfire spread of disinformation and the catastrophic collapse in public standards and public discourse. I’m worried about the growth in anti-intellectualism and the seismic shift in politics away from pragmatism towards naked ideology. I’m worried about the normalisation of racism..."

Great post. These things worry me a lot too 😞

Take a look at this post - it has some quick pointers for new users.

A nice one is to look for the FollowFriday hash tag; people do post suggestions on good accounts to follow.

New Mastodon Users Guide, now on Blog post 

@Curator Rheal, thank you for the work you put into creating this Guide.

I took the liberty to copy all of your toots into a Blog post, which is located here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

I am still polishing it up, would like to make some image adjustments, but your guide is there in full.

Hope it will be useful to others - I am also using it and suggesting as a reading for new users at Qoto.org.

Thank you! 😃

"Review

“Read this book. You’ll find plenty about John and all the other sky-high crackpots who were in the field with him and you may even get (as I did) a glimpse of the heroic excitement that seemed to make it reasonable to cuddle with death every waking moment—to say nothing of learning a heck of a lot about the way in which the business of science is really conducted.”

(Issac Asimov)"

Yea im all for merging in glitch-soc features to qoto features. Though its a bit of a time investment I dont have lately. Perhaps we can get someone to submit a PR
