@freemo Please confirm that Quey has a back-up strategy to ensure that users don't lose everything in case of an emergency or shutting down. -- see §2 https://joinmastodon.org/covenant
.
It is important for users to
have the confidence that a
trip over the power cable or
a rogue bit flip will not erase
all of their data. Having a
backup strategy is a basic
necessity of providing a
public service
.
Humblr did disappear this month. We don't know what happened, but the result is very much like the explicit circumstances contemplated in §2 -- an event "erase[d] all of [our] data."
.
More significant is the fact that Humblr's relationships vanished without notice
.
Humblr was a social media site; and this means that Humblr was about more than just an archive of images and words.
.
Humblr was about people and the links between us which were forged slowly over time.
.
If Mastodon is about "taking back control of your social media", then it means asking reasonable questions based on the Mastodon Covenant.
.
QOTO is also a social media site, so these issues are timely and appropriate and prudent
.
Reasonable questions about QOTO need clear and reasonable responses.

QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?
🇳🇱
@chikara Why are you asking me to confirm things about other servers I do not run? you need to ask the owners of those servers.
@freemo I've only asked you about this Mastodon instance.
.
I was shocked when a spokesman refused to confirm that there is a Mastodon.social commitment to give users at least 3 months of advance warning in case of shutting down.
.
With all due respect, this means that a core element of the Mastodon Covenant is not credible. This means that everyone who read and relied on the specifics of the Covenant were wrong to do so.
.
That's a big problem.
.
Although @LuigiEsq@mastodon.social spoke on behalf of another instance, he was claiming to speak on behalf of the core organizers of the Mastodon network.
.
This astonishing admission opens the door to corollary issues which I have now raised with with you.
.
With regret, I see that you haven't responded to my explicit inquiries about §2 and §3 of the Mastodon Covenant. Please set my mind at ease with your reply.
.
Reasonable questions about QOTO need clear responses.

> I've only asked you about this Mastodon instance.
This is a blatant falsehood. The timeline shows you've asked @freemo about QOTO[1][2], Sinblr[3], and Quey[4]. Apparently this is from simply not caring enough to proofread but then you really shouldn't expect anyone else to care enough to respond.
You're doing the same thing on multiple servers, and I don't think they appreciate it any more than we do. Actually, I'm sure they don't, because I can see that you're annoying them[5][6][7][8].
> I see that you haven't responded to my explicit inquiries about §2 and §3 of the Mastodon Covenant.
It appears they were mistaken for duplicates[9]. Significant fractions of the posts are word-for-word identical to the one he *did* answer, which at best is unnecessary repetition and at worst looks like you are deliberately spamming the timeline with copypasta.

@khird Be kind. -- see https://qoto.org/about/more
.
In other words, think again. Please display your good or benevolent nature. Please try to be indulgent, considerate, and helpful.
.
The core value of QOTO has to do with asking questions. Is that not precisely what I've done? Respect that core value and your mistakenly perceived annoyance will fade like fog in sunlight
.
If you like, I'll be glad to respond to your post, but first, please explain how you captured any part of the of the list you made. I don't see posts in that way. I don't know how to do what you have done -- see

Be respectful.

Please accept my thanks for one of your phrases which I found to be extraordinarily helpful -- "are deliberately spamming the timeline with copypasta." But before I explain more, may I ask if the final word in the phrase "copypasta" or "copypaste"?
.
Kyle, your post is a good illustration of the usefulness of questioning others to teach ourselves. Thank you.
