I think we don't talk enough how good @freemo has done for this instance. The policy of not blocking almost everything, the word limits, the discussions we have here.... Everything is pretty good. I spent some time in another Instance. But frankly, QOTO seemed much more polished in almost every way. Atleast to me.
You have my full aggreement, amen!
The instance is well run, technically stable and fast, offers a large number of other fediverse projects run locally too (audio, video, forum, github).
The administration is open to suggestions and takes a light handed approach to restricting content. While they have their own preferences, they prefer to allow people to make their own selections on who to follow and restrict federation with other instances only in the few cases were the remote administration is non-cooperative.
A great place too. I recently visited the what I consider the largest fediverse mastodon instance (home of the project developer) and wasn't impressed.
If that had been my first instance, my entry point into the fediverse, I might have left and never returned after a day or two there.
We owe huge kudos and thank yous to our host here, indeed.
Thank you for creating and keeping this place for us all. 
Doc Freemo 
Thank you I realy appreciate that. This place is what it is because of the community though in the end. So it is the QOTO users who really deserve thanks.

Forgot to add it in the heat of the motion, but this thread really belongs in the proposed new hashtag #RateMyInstance !!
I had the idea and made some Mastodon posts here about it.
Then collated then into a more permanent home at our Discourse Forums - here: https://discourse.qoto.org/t/is-there-such-a-thing-as-rate-my-instance/130
Check it out, on the third posts in the thread I posted my detailed rating for QOTO.org. --> 4.5
That post is at : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/is-there-such-a-thing-as-rate-my-instance/130/3
Idea, Fediverse. Is there such a thing as RateMyInstance ?? Searched for a hashtag and did not find one. I think we users could take this and provide feedback, ideas to others of what our home instances are like. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly parts even. Just like the Spaghetti Western. 😉 What you all out there think? This could be a grass roots started thing. #RateMyInstance is needed! #mastotips #newusers
