Good news for . We are now being funded by some donated resources, both money and developers. We will essentially have a full-time server administrator and a part-time developer to advance the QOTO software. They will be starting January 1st.

This should allow us to start adopting many of the features we have wanted to bring in that people have been requesting.

@freemo Would you be able to give us a preview as to some of the new features we can expect on ?

@bibliolater First step will be to port over the translation feature and the in-line toot editing feature mainline mastodon got.

After that we plan to do a feature with regards to block lists where the server can block other servers but users can opt to ignore the recommended block list if they want.

@freemo Thank you for the update. I do not know if this is something that you can plan for the future but many of the features on are not available through my account such as .

@freemo Thank you for the information. Is there a timeline for when next update is likely to be released?

@bibliolater Not a hard one just yet. Depends how quickly my system admin can learn the ropes, as well as our programmer.

That said they start working january first, they will have stuff to do other than QOTO, but QOTO will be part of their duties.

My **hope** is we will see the next release sometime in January, probably towards the end.

> 1. Do you block Threads?

I dont personally block threads, nor does the server. Right now we dont block too many servers. That said once we add the feature for users to opt-out of instance level server blocks then we might block threads by default.

> 2. Will you enable the possibilty to block instances peesonaly?

You already can, you can personally block any instance you want.

> 3. When will you enable the possibilty to edit send posts?

Yes this is one of the first and highest priority features.

@sergeant Go to a user on an instance you want to block, click on them so their profile shows up in QOTO. Then click the three dots next to follow and select "block domain"

@freemo @sergeant As a sidenote (in case you didn't know): while you can't yet edit as such, you can already delete and redraft.

@freemo @peterdrake Thanks for taking this on and making it run more and more smoothly!

@freemo Tequila Tuesdays? Employees have to drink tequila from 0600 hours during the work day.

Thunderdome Thursdays? You sound like a good boss.
