@AndyLowry @dotsonapage @freemo This does a good job of summarizing why I chose this server when creating my own account.

On the one hand, those who found this info on their own before joining are probably the envisioned userbase, anyway. But I do hope this thread / toot goes at least a little viral; right now, I fear it's only really visible on the local qoto instance, and 'we' are already aware. Perhaps it is more visible in the fediverse (?) than I realize. One can hope.

In any case, I'm glad I found the qoto.org domain, and didn't just look for the 'most popular' one to start out with. The content I've seen here so far aligns nicely with the as-stated goals, IMO.

I also signed up for Post; between the two, it has more of the look / feel of the #birdsite ; enough that I'd term it a younger clone. At first, that's what I felt would win hearts / minds--a cloned UI. But this platform and the open-source infra is definitely growing on me.

The mobile capability existing here is a big plus, as well (I'm writing this via Tusky). Not sure how far away the Post community is from having same, but not having it 'now' is definitely going to stunt their growth.

I'll stop here, before I'm tempted to use more of the block :) But no longer having to squeeze a thought into 255 chars? Yes, please.

Which is your favorite lepton?

The stochastic nature of interconnection in contemporary 'globalised' 'culture' means there is no Good way to do things, only a commitment to continuous striving to do things less badly. As a starting point, rather than basing action on the assumption that you are correct, begin by assuming you are incorrect and reevaluate.

@lxo @mediocreape @freemo @lxo makes a good point here. I think the "alternate walled garden" analogy is misleading. #ufoi is an agreement between gardeners that they will not build walls between themselves.

@LouisIngenthron Dude trying to help build #UFoI was pushed into the hospital with a heart attack seeing death threats, urges to suicide, and snuff video. I am not happy, and I am not inclined to give those participating the "benefit of a doubt." @freemo may have a link to something "suitable for a press release," but I'm not in a position to clarify.

I see too many people being the monster they claim they are fighting. Every time... Every GOD DAMNED FUCKING TIME I wonder if I'm being just a bit too dark and cynical, I have this shit to remind me I need to lower my expectations a little more.

This is great marketing for the #Fediverse

@freemo @ufoi I'm extremely new here but if one of the oft-repeated criticisms of what seems to be some kind of network of admins with a shared strategy of cooperative moderation that has gradually become quite large and influential (the name of which that I haven't yet clearly been able to identify - fedifence? fediblock?) is that it creates a walled garden and as such is anathema to the free and open principles of the fediverse, proposing a competing system of large coordinated cooperative moderation strategy but it's better because it's run how i like it not how they like it will likely result in an outcome that is not appreciably different.

It's like there's a tweet for everything he does. I love this.
