@cstross @pnh Wait -- does Stross think @VoxDei is the "Christian nationalist" Theodore Robert Beale?!

I don't know this person, but it's apparent from his feed that he's not:

On a related note, a minute browsing the @QOTO feed will make it clear that it's not a "puppy hang-out":

(FWIW, I'm not a qoto die-hard. I just landed here when I came to Mastodon pre-Elongate because it's a STEM instance. What Stross is saying doesn't reflect what I've seen here.)

Oh, I forgot #ThickTrunkTuesday

@freemo @QOTO Interesting.

I've currently got many people and hashtags in Home, then a few (mainly people I know IRL) in a list called "inner circle". If I want to be involved in the conversations of my inner circle, does this mean I should do it the other way around? (Will someone know if I put them in a list without following them?)

Is the answer qoto-specific? Is it likely to change? Moving hundreds of the people I follow to on-a-list-but-not-followed would be a huge hassle and seems a bit backward.

@ZachWeinersmith What do you mean by "what sort"? I saw in a second (comparing a couple of entries) that it was symmetric, but is there more to it?

@PerfectSerenad3 I'm slowly learning to draw and deliberately avoiding digital tools. As a computer scientist during a pandemic, my screen time is terrifying.

(... he posted online. 😬 )

@Pat No, your names are correct. I was just remembering my imagined particles.

@juliacreatesjoy I'm pretty sure my hair is better than my art at this point, but I'm working on it!

@Pat I've designed a few space combat games involving electrino beams and poton torpedoes.

@godlessmom For me, the key point is that you can't PAY to put your advertising into the eyeballs of people who don't want it.
