What is your favorite STEM association (feel free to comment if not listed)
A recent post I saw got me thinking.
What is everyones opinion on Chatham House rules as a convention when engaging in discussions or forums for highly charged topics.

In my mind BLM isnt really something to mock overall. Its an important voice.
But as I said in their mocking they did manage to reveal a disurbing thread of group think that ultimately makes them easy to manipulate as a group. And its not really even a BLM specific thing, its activists as a whole right now.
I think 4chan is a shit hole and do not in any way approve of them mocking BLM or the movement.
The reason I share this however is to point out the generally harmful group think of people being activists right now, to the extent it is hurting the movement.
4chan consistently has success in these matters. Right now its Bald for BLM which seems to be catching on, and not that long ago they managed to trick everyone into thinking the OK hand gesture was a white supremacist hand gesture and even managed to get it on a list of hate speech.
When 4chan is this successful at manipulating people simply by making something look popular, when that is the only criteria for success, its time to reevaluate the underlying mentality driving our activism.

That could possible complement my usual New User welcome message with important Guides links -- for someone who wants to understand what this new place is.
I loved the Guide on the first link, and it's still current and awesome 3 years after publishing.
Hello, and welcome to Qoto.
Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator
Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :

All local QOTO users, please take a minute to answer this poll, it would be important for us moderators
This is an important poll that would help the moderators here make some decisions about the future of QOTO. Please take the time to answer honestly...

@design_RG Eugen is your BDFL if you want to keep using Fediverse+ I mean Mastodon, then you had better get used to it.
@freemo I think your 'switch to pleroma' idea sounds pretty good.
@zleap Idk why but the archetypal Mastodon user is obsessed with getting this feature even though they want mastodon to be a twitter clone even though they don't like actual twitter.

As of today the delete account feature has been re-enabled on #QOTO. You no longer need to email a moderator to have your account deleted.
As some of you know we had previously removed this account because many users complained when they could not recover their account later. Since this feature provides ample warning we feel that mistake is on the user and ultimately this is overall a good decision.
Please be careful when using this feature and be aware of the consequences.

Always happy to thoughtful and respectful consideration of ideas is the cornerstone of qoto. We are a place for discussion, debate, and ultimately changing our minds and learning. This isnt a place for preaching and i love that about qoto too, its why i created it.
Why is it i have yet to meet a single decent human being who are in antifa. Dont get me wrong i know of plenty of anti-fascists who are amazing. But someone in an antifa group, who adopts the logo, the outfit, the principles
.. not one
America is fucking doomed because the rioters and protesters would rather fight with the few potential allies thry have than actually unify against the problem... Hail oir glorious leader trump at this point because justice isnt on the table apparently just violence.
