After discussing with the QOTO moderators we would like to nominate @khird as a new moderator.

It isn't official yet though, we want to give all of our users a chance to consider our nomination and vote either for or against. Also users are welcome and encouraged to nominate their own suggestions as well.

After about a week if no objections are raised and the support is positive with no opposing nominations to consider we will make the nomination real.

Lets hear from you!

A little hello and happy halloween to my #LGBT friends. Hope you all have fun!

@General

I'm trying to be hopeful that she's actually okay and will be back (the tenses are all over the place in the last toot because I was trying not to put her in the past tense prematurely). Maybe she's just got some minor injury that needs rest, and will be back in a couple of days; maybe one of the other people that feed her decided to take her into their home. But it's harsh reality that dogs on streets have brutal and often short lives, especially non-aggressive ones like her.
Please give your time and aid to Humane Animal Society (https://hasindia.org/) or your local equivalent, they genuinely turn lives around, or even save ones that would have otherwise been lost.

She's always been unusually gentle for a street dog, shy and docile with everyone. My dad gave her the ironic nickname "bodybuilder/wrestler" (பயில்வான்) because she's so lean and averse to fighting (other than playfighting with her sister, which she did a lot of). We were trying to actually build that body up, making sure she got to eat her food without bother from other dogs, and to eat a lot of it. But as soon as she started allowing me to pet her, she requires at least thirty seconds of petting every time, before she would touch her food.

# Managed Groups

Should be launched on QOTO tomorrow! but the dev server with a test group is up now!

We will be opening up the Groups Server, most likely, tomorrow. I just need to get email confirmations working (not sure why they arent)...

In the meantime I created a single group for testing purposes and have the server running just to see if its stable overnight and so I can continue working on it. I will let everyone know when its open for registration so you can create your own managed group on the fediverse.

If you'd like to try out the first group, which is intended for general discussion about the group server, QOTO, or really anything really, then just post an original message and tag @QOTO and it should post to the QOTO group.

Keep in mind while QOTO users have the native group expiernce and the groups will appear to work as just a shared space where people can post publicly, users on other servers will not have the integrated expiernce, however it will still be usable and works rather well. The threads in a group will just show up as boosts instead, but functionally its the same so no big deal.

Anyway feedback welcome, play around with the QOTO group while I get some sleep and tomorrow keep your eyes out for the announcement of open-registration so you can create your own moderated group on fediverse.
