She **is** here... you bring up an interesting point, I wonder if any of them have donated to their servers, and if they had it would be a huge show of support and not just words...
maybe because she took it down as she doesnt intend to use it? I dunno only she can speak on that...
@johnabs hahaa, sadly, no plans for thanksgiving as im not in america. Sorry i missed your original post.
I always wanted to play with Hg but truth be told, it just doesnt offer anything worth the cost of being such a rarity.
Im curious, now that @kathygriffin has her twitter account back, will she go back to tweeting there at all, if she does will she still be active here?
Anyone hear if she made any comments on this?

As I attempt to go back off grid for the first time in decades, this time with a family in tow, I'm struck by just how much the solar, and by extension renewable energy, industry has changed.
What once was geared towards people living an alternative lifestyle is now centered around making yuppies in the suburbs believe that they're saving the world if they grid-tie some solar panels on their roof and charge their Tesla at home. It's populated by "business managers" who are only interested is seeing how many shoddily done jobs they can slap up in a short amount of time who mask that fact by pretending to care about the environment to their customers.
I have yet to have a positive interaction with anyone in the industry about actual self-sustainability. They just don't care. It's all so....corporate and phony now.
This is a real disappointment in my current life. Can't even drop out of society effectively anymore.
@BE ITs great to have you and im sure you will be a welcome addition to the family...
Yes, YES, shower me with furballs!

@freemo @MrsDi @EubieDrew I, also, spent more time than was probably healthy searching for the right place to land here on Mastodon. If that's the price, then that's the price. Meet The Dude, commonly called Dudely by the kids.
A kitty i rescued (only lasted a day sadly) was named mouse... moose reminded me of her too for the similar name...
Awww what a cutie pie.. my first pet was a black cat named smokey. This reminds me of her.

I take tips int he form of hugs, pictures of puppers, kittums, and other cuties, as well as compliments about my magnanimous level of coolness.
@Gargron We have a weird bug with one of our users, something we never saw before... during the height of the twitter influx I suspended one of our users and later after a vote @trinsec unsuspended him. A few days later he spontaniously got resuspended without showing in our audit log and no mod claimed to do it. Since then we noticed many times the user becoming suspended and unsuspended with no audit trail, manually reverting it doesnt fix anything. It appears casually linked to @trinsec viewing the user's page, if they refresh enough times it triggers it flipping.
Any idea what could possibly going on?

I found this picture of my old, and only, #horse BC. He taught me to ride and moved to Kentucky with me when I started grad school. We were a pair for over 20 years until he passed away in Bluegrass country. I really miss him.

So many options in the QOTO preferences ❤️
Under Preferences, Other... scroll down and look at your options under QOTO FEATURES. I turned on the Show follow button on timeline and Reflect the following status on the follow button.
Go personalize your own space, it's nice to set it up like 'home'!
@Joshuamcvey I can touch on some of this.
The biggest instances mastadon.social, and ther eare several general instances bigger than us. QOTO is the largest STEM instance on the fedi including, as far as I know, tech instances.
In terms of reach (the number of people who can see you and are seen) QOTO is in the top 20 of all instances. We are not however the least blocked. This number is based on a bomcination of blocking and being blocked so we have one of the biggest reaches. The servers that do block us have massive block lists (and are frankly very toxic). As such those instances have very small reach compared to us.
When a server blocks annother they simply do not communicate, this applies on a personal level as well.
the most used blocklist is here, it is also the most responsible as they do due dilligance on the instances they block and report this: https://fediblock.neocities.org/
There is sadly a lot of vulnerability to false reporting and is up to the instance admin to bother to reach out to the other admin and do some due dilligance. There are many irresponsible servers looking for reasons to block and as such this is a constant problem.
