I wanted to welcome Harry Chen PhD to his account is @HarryChenPhD

He lives in China, and from what I can tell is currently living in Wuhan, the epicenter of the where he posts videos updating us all on the situation. He labels himself as a "renegade journalist".

He was recently banned from twitter because, well, China doesnt really like renegades or journalists. So we are proud to act as a platform to help him host his videos and get the word out on how things develop. Consider following him.

You can read a bit about how twitter oppressed his freedom of speech and what ultimately brought him to the fediverse at these two links:

"Everyone has a chicken-duck-woman-thing waiting for us" My woman's day music, lol :) Seriously though, Women rock

Watching the First Matrix movie again.

Am I the only one who picked up on the fact that the scene where Neo breaks the Vase when seeing the ORacle for the first time was a Foreshadowing of the fact that she had to lie to him and tell him he wasn't the one in order for him to become the One at all?

Man I forgot how good this movie was.

By request, I've turned my Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon into a PDF: github.com/joyeusenoelle/Guide

The latest version will always be at github.com/joyeusenoelle/Guide, but I'll try to update the PDF regularly!

Happy Women's day everyone. To all the wonderful, strong, amazing women in the world, thank you for bringing your light into my world :)

Moderators, please defer all account deletion requisitions to me

I recently had a very suspicious account deletion request come in from an email attempting to spoof the actual account holders email, and they did a poor job of it.

I want to double check that any requests come from the email on the account as well as make sure they can receive replies on that email (if it doesnt use DKIM) before fulfilling the request.

QOTO, federation 

Glad to see Noelle over at the wonderful elekk.xyz instance make this post. In all my dealings with her she has always shown to be a person of excellent character. My only fear is I hope this post isnt used against her in some way.

She has my sincerest thanks and respect.

Tagging a few interested parties: @noelle @arteteco @mngrif @design_RG

Good to know we are doing something right at #QOTO :)

Well, if we're going by active users, #fosstodon is right there with you (2.08k vs 2.06k)

I think we're *all* doing something right 🎉

Ohhh one of my opensource projects just got a **very** active contributor this week. I have a bunch of merge requests to review, exciting!

So apparently right now M.T has something like 110% more users than us (more than double), yet only ~20% more **active** users (users who have posted within the last 2 months).

Based on current growth rates our active user count s likely going to surpass theirs by the end of the month too. That would officially make QOTO the largest technology oriented instance in the fediverse.

Good to know we are doing something right at :)

Hopefully this place isn't full of Orwellian wankers. All they want is to silence a man for having opinions.
