I'm really missing my bicycle I have stored int he Netherlands right now... She was such a pleasure to ride. Cant wait to get back there.

@FailForward First half was the LGBT exodus, second half was front page of JM... right where it levels off is when JM got restructured and there were no front page instances anymore.

@FailForward No not exactly. That is a combination of two effects 1) the LGBT exodus from scholar.social and other LGBT servers to here (in response to use being the only free-speech inclusive server) and 2) us being listed on the frontpage of join mastodon.

@lanodan

I still have nightmares about lisp!

@shpuld

Just updated our user bot so it shows the all-time stats from the beginning of server inception (3 years), before it was just showing the last 6 months.

We still have the weekly stats published as well.

It is kinda cool to see the changes over 3 years of progress.

Facebook: This supermodel looking woman just friend requested you despite having no mutual friends. She has a complete profile and many followers.

Me: BOT!!!! ::instantly reports to facebook as a fake account::

@sement Indeed :)

@sement They dont bury it for the sake of predators, they do it as part of the social etiquette with other cats.

Cats mark territory both through urine and poop which have scent markers on it. Dominant cats wont bury their poop as a way to mark territory. The submissive cats will bury their poop so as not to mark a territory and thus remain submissive to the alpha.

The reason domestic cats bury their poop is mostly because you re their alpha and they consider themselves as being submissive to you and in your territory. Well that and domestic cats have probably lost some of the instincts that wild cats have, so it might be a bit more random for domestic cats and mean less than it would for a wild cat.

@trinsec haha if it weren't for your OCD there would have been at least a dozen bugs around QOTO still there that no one could give a shit about :) you are priceless :)

@trinsec yea a generous setting makes sense... but then again no real reason to set it at all. Having old defunct guest users dont actually hurt anything.

@trinsec yea eventually as people clear their cookies a guest user would become defunt and the server would have no real way of knowing that. You can set it up int he config to wipe users who are inactive for a certain period of time. So its possible that will happen, I dont recall if i turned that on or not.

@stux macos is nice enough even for daily use... but i find it just wastes more of my time when im in programmer mode than linux.

@stux Thats ok, we can still be friends anyway. Not everyone is perfect :)

Actually I do run a mac box, its very much secondary to linux, but they arent bad.... As long as you dont run windows we can be friends. Second I see a windows logo pop up on your feed though im blocking you :)

@stux I knew there was a reason I liked you. Up until this moment I wasnt sure exactly what it was though :)

@stux Is that a zsh terminal I see?

@trinsec How would they know a registered user would return? They dont.
So usually the people in a room isnt indicative of the active users in the room.

QOTOs room being only a week old though means all the users listed were active in the last week. So that is telling that our user count represents a larger portion of active users than the user count from an older room.

But in reality it just wont tell you **that** much

@trinsec Also if you compare to rooms with similar counts as us we are actually more active than many.. Like Meow Chat (the chat from Stux's server) has about 35% more users than us, yet on average only one person speaks per day with 1 - 3 messages. Which is quite a bit less than what we are seeing int he QOTO lobby with a fraction of the users.

In the end its all relative.

@trinsec As I understand it if a user comes back on later they will control the same guest user (assuming they didnt clear their cookies). As such just like any other user they can join or leave rooms as they wish. Even if they had registered a user before joining it wouldnt look any different except they would have had a custom username.

@trinsec Depends entierly on the room's setting. In the lobby, yes.
