@jonreed Love it, but the line before last and the first has the wrong meter and it throws it off. May I suggest the following variant:

There once was a man called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk

@AmpBenzScientist Same, and by extension, I've also rarely had bad expiernces from Jews. Both groups have been wonderful people who have helped me in times of need and I appreciate both groups a great deal.

@lePetomaneAncien

Would you say from a scientific perspective it is fair to say that which day of the week is Sunday, at this point, is arbitrary and doesn't really line up with any ancient idea of "Sunday" other than by name?

@sgul

@darius

All good points, and I dont disagree. But as a host to an open server I would say if you have the resources it works out (QOTO has none of these problems).

#1 we cover because we have ample hardware and masto isnt all that resource heavy

#2 we address this by having a good community tthat self monitors. We have a very strong foundation of respecting others and accepting difference of opinion. We exert social pressure on new comers to do the same and when you talk to them and engage its easy to keep that spirit alive. Inn the end if someone shows to be contrary to that we can always kick them

#3 Have enough moderators such that one is always active, you get the spam really quickly.. we also have a strong captcha on signup and that eliminates 99% of spam right off the bat anyway.

@AmpBenzScientist I honestly have no idea what to expect. I know when I've been in arab communities outside of Israel the people have been some of the kindest people I've ever met.

@lePetomaneAncien

Im not so much curious how far back 7-day weeks go but how long the weekdays we know have been aligned. How long has Sunday fallen on Sundays.

My curiosity is about religious communities. They deem Sunday, or in some cases Saturday, as religious days.. but if you go back far enough did Sundays at one point in the past fall on what would have been a Tuesday?

I know we had a shift in dates and so when you hear an ancient date it sometimes isnt the correct date according to modern counting of dates (shifted by a few days)... I wonder if something similar happened with religious Sundays where in the past it may have been a different day shifted a bit.

@sgul

Since I've been in Israel I have really wanted to visit the regions considered Palestine still (west bank, that sort of stuff). I have strong political opinions about it all but feel i really need to see both sides first hand and interact to really have a right to feel strongly about it.

Anyway one of the Palestinian workers I hired heard about this and invited to take me and show me around. I cant tell you all how excited I am to get to do that soon.

@realcaseyrollins Well to fair your more of a dark auburn than a black... soooo....

@nKiaru We have a very well funded and beefy system.. it can handle the load so you are more than welcome to upload here.

Keep in mind peertube (and qoto has a peer tube instance you can use) has some advantages for you though. You can upload bigger and higher resolution videos. Plus peertube is federates so you dont even **need** to post the link, you can follow a peertube account directly from here, no problem.

Check out @freemo@video.qoto.org for an example, thats my account on peertube but as you can see you can follow it and see it straight from here.

@DecaturNature Not any good ones. There are some instances devoted to specific regions though.

@nKiaru Much appreciated.

We have had people invest before but generally we dont need it. I invested tens of thousands into the company myself and there is more than enough in the account to last us for years to come.

If you want to contribute invest your time or other resources.

@nKiaru its the second one, but it is out of sync and not currently the code we have on the server.. ill update it in the next few days and sync the repos.
