Ok, Mastadon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.

A plea to use birdsite CWs more 

Gentle reminder to please add CWs when discussing twitter or elon musk. A lot of us came from there recently, and the downfall of our previous social space weighs heavy on our minds, but a lot of folks around here have been around longer than us, and have no interest in hearing the latest insane cruel thing the big man-baby did.

Also aside from that... A social network whose only topic is discussing another social network is not healthy. I get it, it's current news and feels like an important internet moment, but at some point we should thank twitter for the memories, let it go, and talk about things that excite us, make us happy, and generally make this a better place than the one we just left.

@sindastra I was thinking of the fallacy and decided not to vote. ;)

@aiju 😂 Oh I have to tell this my German buddy, he'll totally understand!

@Jim_Salmons @freemo Accounts from other servers will be able to see the full toot. No worries. :)

: IT'S COMPLICATED.

(And that's why smaller, independent, decentralised servers — like those running — have a much better chance at striking the right balance and keeping their users happy!)

@shibaprasad Qoto's a modified Mastodon instance. Chances are the client might maybe not play that nice with it. I always recommend the mobile web interface for Qoto.

There are others who use Tusky or Fedilab with success. I always use the mobile web interface. I'm not sure how the official client behaves.

@saxarona Welcome to Qoto!

Latex is currently not working, bug @freemo to fix it and use images/plaintext in the meantime. ;)

@manjuggm One account is generally good enough to get in touch with people from other servers.

Just like you can email somebody from Outlook.com with your Gmail.com email address. :)

There are a few exceptions (like servers blocking each other), but Qoto does not block servers by default so we are one of the most connected servers around.

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!
