Living near the airport, we are the drivers for the extended family. I always go by this plane and say something obscene.

Reminder that your instance admins are basically community volunteers! They dedicate their time to making sure your instance is running smoothly and is always updated. Most are fronting the costs themselves to keep things running too. As instances grow with new members, so do their monthly costs, and the amount of reports they have to deal with. If you're able to, reach out to them and see if you can support them somehow! Let's grow #Mastodon together!

Just a heads up that when you quote-toot others, they won't get notified of this, so they won't see your response. You'd have to mention them in your commentary.

Additionally, this is a Qoto-specific feature. There are some other servers supporting quote-toot, but default Mastodon does not.

So, there's a Tesco ad on at the moment where a woman is brought to a supermarket in a barren area outside a city somewhere and she seems so happy... and I can only think of Reaper Man and what terrible things are about to happen to her! #Discworld

Jeremy Hunt tells #laurakuenssberg that he “doesn’t accept the premise that Brexit will make us poorer”
He might as well say that he doesn’t accept the premise that the tooth fairy isn’t real.
If you smash up your GDP, make trade more costly and difficult, put up regulatory barriers and threaten international cooperation in favour of sovereignty, then you will be poorer. Fact. We are poorer. Fact. Denying that is just more failure.

#introduction Hi all. I'd already closed FB 2.5 years ago and recently closed #Twitter and #instagram. Let's see how things go here. In IT and Banking. In Dallas TX. Complete geek and minimalist. Love music, movies, books, etc., but have turned it all digital.

I'm thankful to see #caturday is a thing over here too. #catsofmastodon

@freemo is there a plan to get any of the nice features such as Domain follow into the main Mastodon trunk repo so that you can more easily keep qoto.org at a recent software version. Mastodon is on version 4.0 while qoto lags on 3.3 I think.
