@steve Yes but probably for reasons beyond what people thing... largely because they tend to spread disinformation and gossip that causes damage across servers causing people to suspend for uninformed reasons.

The UFoI is a project aimed to address this growing issue.

Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:

•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)

•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)

•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)

RT if you learned something new!

Pro tip of the day: Wait till after Christmas to make any new friends. That way you get a whole year to decide if they are worth a gift or not! So all you people I've been hanging with from Dec 1 to Dec 25, you are all now officially friends. Welcome aboard, don't fuck this shit up!

@goldclusters Not sure what the playstation 3 has to do with it but I agree, these are good indicators of success.

@freeplay

I agree, its a good comment.

That said QT has been a feature in the fediverse for years now (QOTO being the first to adopt it outside of misskey)... I have yet to see it used for abuse anymore so than a regular toot would.

It essentially serves the smae function as posting a link to a toot at the end of your own toot... maybe the naysayers should make adding links to toots impossible too.

@DavidDvorkin The top scientists from around the world are working on this as we speak... any day now... any day...

@joaopinheiro Its a great way to provide a useful internet service without spending a lot too :)

@joaopinheiro there is a violent thunderstorm right now. I intend to sleep with the windows open

@aleksi Its really great to have you on QOTO. Looking forward to getting to know you.

I never joined Twitter or really posted on Facebook. I'm somewhat of a private person, not wanting to expose myself to too much online. But Mastodon reminds me of "old internet" by being a bit clunky and complicated to use, which I hope selects for the people that I tend like.

I used to work as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, but moved back to Europe and wanted to do something different. Currently I'm studying physics and math, hoping to complete a master's degree by 2024.

I'm here looking for insightful or helpful interactions around topics
of , and . I'm also looking for a place to toot my horn a little about personal projects and things I've learned, since many of my interests are too esoteric for my real-life friends.

@freemo Merry Christmas, and thanks for playing Santa this year and giving all of us new users here the gift of QOTO! It's very much appreciated.
