Silencing Spinster Instance for all of QOTO, CW for Length 

@Surasanji

As a fellow moderator of QOTO I, of course, agree with this decision.

I would like to add that should a moderator or admin of spinster wish to reach out to me to discuss this issue further I can always be reached here: jeffrey.freeman@qoto.org and a general message to the qoto staff in general can be done by reaching us at our discourse server as well: discourse.qoto.org

While we will wait until the day is over to activate the silence after that no QOTO users, including mods, will receive messages from spinster, as such we will need to be reached through one of the side channels above should there be a need.

@Surasanji @alex @mk @freemo @arteteco I do not agree with your decision. No one is forced to follow Spinster and I guess most of QOTO users are not interested in what happens there so this is not an issue for them. Instead, I am interested and your decision affects me as a QOTO user. If I don't like their "extreme elements", as you say, then I do not follow them and if they engage with me I mute them. I joined QOTO because its description says "A free speech space. No censorship here. We do not silence or block any instances." Why are you changing this now?

There are so many themes here and the white material one is good for now....😎

As we covered, if you ask someone not to tag you or spam your account with unwanted messages, and you ask someone multiples times, they explicitly refuse and then continue to do so some 20 times even after a block. That **is** harassment by any definition of the term.

Also doesnt matter if you see it as harassment or not unless you can somehow actually make a compelling argument that convinces the admins/moderators but sadly no one has come close to doing that.

Getting weary with searching for the right balance but i do find some that makes it worthwhile altho it is just as a real alternative medium to regulars...

@mngrif btw even on a cursed instance after a database wipe you dont loose your followers (sorta). But you do loose who you follow.

Mr Ai boosted

@mngrif If a mastodon domain goes down you can go in and steal the domain and put a mastodon server up and steal all the old followers.

Mr Ai boosted

@mngrif I could probably setup a cursed instance for you. But it wouldnt have full text search and wouldnt cache other instances toots for very long (those are the expensive parts).

Mr Ai boosted

I am amazed balls that many faved a toot i made earlier, thanks folks it is charming now. 😅

Mr Ai boosted

@bonqo I'm glad you feel that way. It is great having you!

I must admit the folks on here are superb for the record, so it is a worthy place already!

Just a reminder. All of 's free services including NextCloud, FunkWhale, PeerTube, and Gitlab have some quota restrictions to new users.

Any user with a QOTO account or who is active and established on another one of our servers, may request a quota upgrade for free. In most cases we can provide each user with a TB of space or more.

Thanks to our very generous donations we are currently funded to keep the lights on for many years into the future. So just ask for your free quota upgrade and we can usually take care of it for you.

The server now has full support for **both** MathJax based rendering for Latex formatted Math equations and Latex formatted Pseudocode. In fact you can even render math latex inside your pseudocode!

Check out the following post to see an example along with some quick instructions on how to use the new functionality.

is back up safely post-upgrade. Going to cleanup some CSS that ooks a bit off since the upgrade but otherwise everything seems to be working.

QOTO is now on the QOTO variant of v2.9.3 of Mastodon. Enjoy!
