PSychological Egoism, and altruism are the same things... prove me wrong.

@BeckyWerner walking out of school to protest something is the **worst** way. It shows your selfish and just in it for a day off of school and not because you care about the problem.

Protest by going to school on the weekends then you will have my attention :)

@freeschool

Now that I have the resources testing new iudeas and building out some of this is very more likely. At a minimum setting up that podcast server is much more likely in the near future.

Though keep in mind this company does things outside of QOTO too, so not 100% of the focus will be on QOTO. My time is still stretched very thin, at least until i get a little momentum going. I mean a startup is a lot of effort, im easily working 80 hour weeks now if not more, weekends included.

Where do you need your limits increased? We have plenty of resources to increase your limits anytime just ask.

Sadly ill be pretty busy for a solid year, after that i may find i have a little more time.

> What say you? (guess I'm asking for you to back me a bit / boost the podcast post and say it's more officially a QOTO test :)

I actually already boosting both your podcast posts when you made them. I am more than happy to reboost them now. When you say "make it an official QOTO test" what exactly do you mean? Id be happy to help endorse you doing a podcast as part of an official QOTO thing. In fact we have been wanting to do this and havent had the time so if you want to spear head that I can definately make it something official as long as you will go in a direction that aligns with what QOTO is.

@bonifartius

@freemo @bonifartius Agree, although
█ you're not by yourself... you have us!
█ you don't need time for what I mean
✅ You just accept a pitch that sounds good (a post you've already read from users like mine who are trying without any attention) and back a few select people as a confirmed QOTO test so it's way to funnel a few people from using your popularity to them (mostly for QOTO but those who still are unconfident).
The rest will create itself here.

Your backing and encouragement helps us (or just 2 users) to test it in more of reality and purpose to realise what is - and accept if it's just a pipe dream or in reality in the long run proven (so by the time you have more time it's clearer and you don't have to start this process later).

It can prove what works done by ourselves (and also ok if it's not) I that's the main thing.
Start to shout out that "now we're trying this QOTO, so try it!" and everything will line itself.

Consider it a test space as you might well have wanted initially as a bit more than micro-blogging social. A few of us in-house talking / making with your nod will be quite painless.
I certainly mean no harm by it.

We can prove / show things while you do your other things. ⏲️
The time I feel we're losing if we (the bored isers) are giving to external companies or playing war game all the time. So without rushing it's better value something here than anywhere else.

WHAT I'M ASKING as EXAMPLE
█ Start me off by boosting my podcast post you've already seen
qoto.org/@freeschool/111629539

+ give your "approval for testing" comment and watch people go with more confidence and build a bit here as audio clips. It even proves what doesn't work so it won't fail you later,

Disclaimers can be put there as a test mode. I think more happy production can commence and someone like me will have time to talk it all out so you need not be involved apart from check in / read what you already read from time to time.

Happy to send you podcasts I've done before (I sent you some before with a Debian developer and many others).
I did also have webspace but cut down - could upload a few to temporary space
You could also up my limits temporarily and I could upload previous podcasts here 10-100mb each as a test in itself.

Not trying to cheat anyone here. And well you'll always be busy so I think it's not going to change.

What say you? (guess I'm asking for you to back me a bit / boost the podcast post and say it's more officially a QOTO test :)

New idea: communist casinos. When you leave if you win you have to split everything you won with all the people who loose.

@freeschool

Thank you, and I agree. Its mostly a matter of getting people interested and contributing. My time is limited so I need to rely on create community rather than trying to do it all myself. But looks like we are getting there with the new resources.

@bonifartius

@freemo @bonifartius Thanks also from me.

I echo what @bonifartius said about the thanks, and you have my constant kudos... as well as push to enable me to do what I do (and discover that here).

📔 Note: "quality and NOT quantity" is what I'd say to grow this all right <--- strongly feel this is measurably too and according to what people need or don't have under Capitalism (they are creatively starving).

🌲 So not just growing in space or server but each person here and us growing with you and that way we kinda get to world peace or more fun doing whatever we can (literally I see our being here itself can make this happen more effortlessly by what we like doing already or advertising it here in-house).

The searching constantly for our self and each other, learning towards unity with you. is important and for our generations to come.

Kudos and :ubuntu: (I am... because we are... my existence is also from what you|we do as one in humanity)

🕊️ We need more good stuff to do.

I have been patiently waiting for years and I will be gone at some point. Measurably have more time than others. If the others in the team can reach me, I welcome it.
Thanks for your (plural) efforts.

@bonifartius

Happy to. To be fair the main company I own that supports QOTO recently got some decent sized investors. So while int he past i have put up a lot of money it isnt really my money right now :) That said these guys are old friends and it wont change anything for QOTO, we will still remain strictly open-source with no corporate interests aside from being able to use our open-source stuff from our community (including resources like gitlab). Like anyone else though they wont be allowed to do anything commercial on our systems. I also own the company so I can make sure that remains true :)

@freeschool

@freemo @freeschool sure, makes sense!

i already like the current featureset, pinning other timelines is very cool. the colored follow icons are also very handy!

thanks for putting in the work and money :)

@selea Sadly yes it is a tool with a steeper learning curve than a simple package manager. Nothing too out of reach, but with power and novility comes the need to learn

I can say at first i didnt know much about how it worked but i was able to hack through it and get a system running. Within just a few weeks I was able to administer it across an entire company.

Early on you just steal someone elses install config and modify it a bit for your own packages you want installed, keep it simple. AS long as you arent doing anything too fancy in the install configs its really easy. Then learn as you go, thats what I did.

@selea Without having anyidea what you want or need in a distro (feel free to share if you want a more specific answer)... I very highly recommend NixOS. I havent gotten to much into GUIX but thats another similar alternative.

They go about system management VERY different than most linux os with a more declaritive form.

but I spent my whole like on Arch and Debian and now that i discovered NixOS it is a game changer in so many ways!

How is it plants dont poop!!! what witchcraft is this! What is it plants know that I dont know!

@freeschool

Oh and a new user querentine. Essentially all new users start out silenced and once they make a post showing they are not spam (or two) we unsilence them to accept them.

@bonifartius

@freeschool

First step is just bring in some stuff from upstream, namely in-line editing and some translation stuff. Also we have some bug fixes.

Around the same time we have to migrate servers too.

That alone will be a huge effort and the work has begun, thats likely a good month there.

After that we have some plans for features around blocking (allowing for a server-wide block that users can override), and a few other quality of life improvements.

@bonifartius

Q. List of server instances blocking QOTO? 

@freeschool

Many do, many dont.. just linking to that tool will get you banned by MANY servers specifically because it was developed by KiwiFarms (the instance that trolls people as a matter of their entire purpose). Basically the developers designed it **intentionally** to be inaccurate with the intent of causing people to fight about it and leave the fediverse.

So just the use of that link will get you on many block lists since it was developed by literal nazis with the intent of doing harm.

@bonifartius

Q. List of server instances blocking QOTO? 

@bonifartius

Every server on that list blocked you for at least 5 minutes at some point in time... but the overwhelming majority either no longer block or dont even exist yet remain listed.

Also many servers are spam servers and were never real.

@freeschool

Q. List of server instances blocking QOTO? 

@freeschool

Now that we have a whole team and some money I think your going to see a lot more projects soon.. first we just need to get things up to speed.

So one of the issues with this list is that it falsly reports who blocks you, like many of those servers dont actually block at all... Basically if someone blocked you once 10 years ago and then unblocked you, it would show on this list as a current block. They **never** remove old blocks even once removed. For that reason it is a very bad link to use, especially because older servers will have much longer lists even if they arent really blocked.

Also servers that no longer exist at all remain on the list.
