@JensHannemann prestige isnt too important to me, but would be cool if that were the case one day.
It would have been great to have you, but the beauty of the fediverse is we can connect anyway.
QOTO has a ton of features though and one that maybe be of use to people who are considering moving is our timeline/instance subscription. You can effectively bring the local timeline of a foreign instance into your account. so you can set it up so a column locally on QOTO is a reflection of the local timeline on the instance you are coming from. This helps make you feel likeyou havent lost anything by moving.
@realcaseyrollins Thanks.
@JensHannemann Ahh yes, it seems there is a fellow level... hmm

In musky lands that the pale moonlight brings,
There stands a tavern where it shines and it sings.
In this warm place eternal laughter does flow;
with a smile for each of the winds that will blow.
To seek this land out less must be so much more,
then set yourself free to drift to tusks's shore.
The familiar road finds unfamiliar friends door,
filled with mirth, merriment, magick, and lore.
When ready to pass open wide network gate,
a cool wind then blows that shows one their fate.
The room there well lit by passion's great fire,
it's smoke will hang thick from our love's own desire.
There in the sky dances god borealis,
and there on the bar sits the bust of the Pallas.
But never there seen is the raven of yore,
for only the wise can be king evermore.
There in the corner stands a gargoyle's head,
where out of it's mouth flows hot earthen lead.
Into a dirt cup it's flow does seek end,
but as shining gold it does then transcend.
The food and the drink shared to all those around,
Not one to the other was any one bound.
With plates of clear manna that did sparkle white,
and cups of ambrosia kept full through the night.
Here Elon's dust used in shakers to fill,
and surely dragon tails do remain in there still.
For what fool would eat from a dragon's great tail,
only to have all of their passions fail.
Moon's magick glow fills the room well dispersed,
While time's wanting path remains untraversed.
The moments found here are well unrehearsed;
The truth is abound, not found interspersed.
@hasmis I could be wrong, now i wonder if it was 40V lab grade...
