@battaglia01 Technically speaking it is the idea that you only have one account and then talk to people over many servers with that one account. :)
There are several reasons why people would have more accounts (different local timelines, different connections), so that's fine. But you can't 'link' them together as they're seperate accounts.
You can let them all follow each other if you want, though it won't do anything special.
@agterrane You mean there are big fires again in California? In December? Is that an usual season to have those big fires at?
@louiscouture Not a problem... mostly because they don't exist in my country, heh.
@Gbudd Totally agree! ![]()
@chamberlainnl Poor Finn. Did he buy that explanation? ;)
@peterdrake Very fitting.
Fun bit.. we have a lot of butchers here called Baker (but then in Dutch), and bakers called Butcher (again, it'd be in Dutch). I guess in the past they got married and swapped roles. ;)
@JonKramer Oh, wow. That's quite macabre! Or as we Dutchies would say, luguber!
Wonder whether those were indoor-only cats and that they had no other choice than to eat their owner to survive.
@skyblond Oh yeah I use the mobile version too, but just to surf with. I don't really use all the features but maybe I should look into it.
@rdaily You know that dog is a Quest Giver. Either that or it is a Main Boss.
Fedi vs advertisers speculation
@peterdrake Servers could silence spam-servers. Qoto does that too. Maybe by that time this becomes a legit concern, we will have software for this to do this automatically.
@skyblond Cool, glad you like it after all. :)
@freemo
Honestly, I probably would have disengaged from the Fediverse/Mastoverse a long time ago - or at best had a mostly dormant account (like I do on the birdsite) - because of stuff like this, if not for #QOTO.
To my knowledge, this is the instance that comes closest to having the culture that Hacker News wants to have:
> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
(from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
So, thank you, for creating an environment for those of us that want to have genuine and curious conversations.

Just as an aside, you know you can turn off boosts per followed account? Go to their profile page, click on the 3 dots, and you can turn off boosts coming from that account.
@digital_carver Don't feel too bad. Just follow whoever you like, you're not required to follow anyone. If someone's havinga bad effect on you, just unfollow. Your mental health is more important.

@barefootstache I just finished the 2nd episode, and it's still good. I'll probably watch more tomorrow.

So they can form a writer's block.
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
