I think with all the non-english posts around here we need to make a few new rules in order to keep things safe for moderation and keeo the timeline interesting. I would like everyones feedback.
1) You must be able to speak english fluently enough to interact with english moderators and english commentors
2) You must have a STEM interest in being here (though not required to post on any one subject).
Also note it is still very hard to moderate non-english posts for now im using a translator but it makes my job MUCH slower...
Would you say these two points apply to you.
@freemo Those are good, thank you.
The only thing I would add is spell out the STEM acronym, as people might have found QOTO simply from it's prominent position on joinmastodon.org's Instance list / Join page - and not realize that this is not a typical, general audience focused server.
Found a nice visual one.

, where should we spell it out though?
@freemo The Front Door, certainly.
Any page that's presented to new users during the account creation process.
The About This Server page, maybe add the image or a smaller resized one there.
If could be arranged, in the joinmastodon.org text describing QOTO instance.
https://joinmastodon.org/#getting-started
There is a little bit of room there, so maybe in words, spelling out the acronym meaning?
@freemo Our current text description there is only 61 characters.
The Witches.live on the right side 113 have characters, and there's still room for maybe 10 chars or so.
Did this on my text editor, and it's 108 chars (w/o quotes):
"Question Others to Teach Ourselves. A STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math - oriented instance."
