#QOTO just moved from the #2 spot on joinmastodon.org to the #1 spot. I believe this is calculated based on how fast an instance is growing. Seems we are not just one of the largest mastodon instances but we are also now the fastest growing one.
That's so cool!
@freemo it's party time 🤘
STEM beating the Witches to the first spot!
@design_RG I like witches but heck that's a long shout. @ragnar @freemo
@design_RG What? Real wizardry is all about the glamour and flair, fireworks and explosions. Witchcraft is the one who see magic as a mean to an end. (discworld ref) @ragnar @freemo
@design_RG Good times. @ragnar @freemo
@design_RG And a lot who died are not even actually witches, they just got accused out of personal grudge and revenge for something else completely irrelevant. @ragnar @freemo
@Rovine
Yes, the book I mentioned above, a recent novel series, is based on an English publication of the 1600's, which was an actual witch hunting manual. Many times these could be aimed at acquiring the victim's property, which the appointed judge (hugely profitable job) could dispose at their discretion.
@ragnar @freemo
Very interesting that you have those interests. Must be wonderful reading.
I like Alchemy a lot too.
@design_RG I think some instances have seen better days from uh, 2018 or so. Some instance directories (I don't remember what they are now) are listing profiles that used to be active last year, or even 2017. @ragnar @freemo
The #3 spot has changed a few times today actually. We started at #4 and quickly moved to #1, I think it runs a rolling average we just needed to accumulate.
QOTO has always had really good frowth even before we were on the list.
Here's the wiki page about the novels and TV series :
@Rovine
I like wizardry too, but real ones don't go out advertising like that. 😉
