@Karthikdeva dust allergies acting up now! Never before had that issue unless I was at a construction site or anywhere near a place super dusty! They still burst crackers here, even after the way the sky has been looking.... So basically nobody cares. I suspect pollution and everything about it in this area sucks!
#QOTO for today,
What are all the local calamities (preferably environmental) you are facing currently? Do you suspect #GlobalWarming as a reason behind it? (or) some other factor?
Is there anything you or your local authority can do to solve any immediate/ long-term crisis?
What a huge spike at #QOTO. 723 new users in less than a week.
All the new STEM posts I'm seeing popping up are amazing and its also great to meet so many new people.
As many of you know they are largely from India and I for one amd enjoying all the new culture and perspectives they are bringing.
Its great being a part of this community and seeing it grow.
If larger country oppresses a smaller country,I’ll stand with smaller country
If smaller country has Majoritarian Religion which oppresses minority religions,I’ll stand with Minority religion
If minority religion has caste & one caste oppresses another caste,I’ll stand with caste being oppressed
In oppressed caste if an employer oppresses his employee,I’ll stand with employee
If employee goes Home & oppresses his wife,I’ll stand with that woman
Overall oppression is my enemy
Interesting fact of the day: despite the moon only being 1/4th the diameter of the earth it is a whole 1/80th the mass! But in terms of volume it is 1/50th the volume.
People don't realize how the relationship between diameter and volume is non linear. So it creates these very unexpected differences, especially at large scales.
@Karthikdeva I always say that int eh Fediverse when you pick a server the main thing you are deciding on is if you trust the way in which the moderators will carry out their duties. That, hopefully, means there is a balance between acting and not acting that you are ok with.
At QOTO thats why we make our moderation decisions public and we welcome anyone to comment on it before we decide.
@Karthikdeva For me I Mobility solutions and servers(Mainframes) make me curious. I love to read about technology and people running popular sites/apps and how they do it.
#NoCelebrityCulture is a dream scenario and it's good to see so many of the #Mastdoon users support that.
Almost all the topics that are debated or discussed in India revolves around some celebrity/politicians.
They never represent / care about what a commoner has to say.
For e.g.
During De-monetization almost all the celebs tweeted/posted videos praising our PM, some went further to order us that it's 'ok' to suffer for the sake of our nation. But I remember myself and so many common citizen struggling. Things spiraled out of control. But not for the so- called celebs.

I don't think there is a 'celebrity' culture on mastodon.
It's just 2.2 million regular people.
I remember a couple of famous usa actors logged in a year or so ago. I guess they didn't get enough fawning attention, so they left ;-)

@Karthikdeva This is what it looks like as an emoji:

Holy hell how did I not hear of that! That sounds scary.
One thing QOTO provides for some is a way to ensure their posts wont get taken down by governments. In the past I've heard this said by several chinese members of the group. I am proud to offer that service and should the chinese government ever try to stop us we would of course refuse (one reason we host our servers in many redundant locations, particularly the data).
Sounds like india might be going down a similar path of censorship and if that is so, that is very scary :(
by order of the peaky fookin blinders, im an earthling trying to science my way out of misery :)
