@himanshukumar Naw. We're not about making money here. Never have been, never will be. We're about discussions, and growing knowledge. It's worth more than a few extra dollars in the pocket.

@Karthikdeva It wouldn't have any value without users, like you, to fill it. The posts are the real value.

Current **active** user count on #QOTO is at a all time high of 714 users.

I was reflecting on this as a Data Scientist. Our all-time user count is 3,190. From my experience most active instances that dont delete inactive accounts peak at around 10% active users if their older than a year. So at a 22% active rate for QOTO that suggests we have a very high retention rate, in other words, more people who come to QOTO stick around and remain active.

Thats something I feel proud of as the Founder and one of the moderators here, the fact that most of our users are happy enough to want to stick around.

I kinda like this Big Bounce theory https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/big-bounce-theory.amp.html

@Karthikdeva Well thats why we have moderators. We require people to be respectful with eachother and not to engage people who have asked to be left alone.

So while a right-winger is of course most welcome here trolls from either side, left or right, would not be tolerated because of our rules. Ususally we just talk to them and it resolves itself, it rarely has to resort in a ban. Most people are pretty respectful when they are treated the same way, which is why its just not been an issue here really.

Remembering Marie curie on her birthday (7th Nov)
You'll be surprised when you know the path she took to become one of the greatest scientist that ever existed. Her work resulted in opening an entirely new set of field that enabled us to discover completely new matters
