A good thing about the #qoto instance is relative absence of cat pics (or dig pics, or... well insert your preferred aninal), compared to, say, mastodon.social, where nearly half my TL was cat pics. Not that I hate cats or have something against them, but there is more to life than cats!
Fair consideration @freemo, I'll use content warnings, as needed.
Just a couple of days ago, at mastodon.social, I already had to split a post into four parts due to character limit. It starts here, if you want to check: https://mastodon.social/@Muo/100597633685644965
If you checked all 4 parts, it was an important message and the fediverse could have done its bit.
@AnonByNature @waxwing follow @freemo for some interesting boosted introductions by others on his(?) instance dedicated to STEM fields.
We got 50 new users just while I slept... #QOTO is lit :)
In case anyone was wondering what #QOTO is... Well aside from being the name of our instance it stands for "Question Others, Teach Others" and is pronounced like "goto", it is an intentional play on words "goto QOTO" sounds like "goto goto".
Friday?

Salutations friends of #qoto!
On my bus on the way to work. It's another beautiful day here in Tel Aviv.
I hope it'll be a beautiful day for you too!
I'm a bit peckish so this morning I'm asking another #randomquestion about food:
What is your perfect breakfast?
For me I'm looking at a Full English with a side of waffles.
Holy crap it just took me a LOT of time to catch up with all the introduction posts and notifications since I went to bed. QOTO has grown so big so fast I can barely keep up.
Its amazing that despite the explosion in users on #QOTO that everyone remains so loving, inclusive, and respectful to each other. You guys really give me hope in the human race again (and I had started to loose that hope lately).
We have not had a single report from/to anyone on QOTO, you guys rock. Stay awesome to each other, I love you all!
Hi everyone, hope this platform will prevail without having baised approach towards users! Happy to start things with this, way to go #introduction
Greetings ya'll. I'm a biologist living in Decatur GA. I sit in front of a computer all day, so I'm making a point of paying attention to all of the life around me. Some of it I try to nurture or attract (e.g. butterfly garden), but a lot of it shows up on it's own, or I just pass it by during my day. That's not why I'm here, just something I do (and the meaning of my handle). #introduction
Hello #Qoto,
I am #NewHere and this is my #Introduction.
I am Madhur, an Indian engineer with many interests: chess, philosophy, maths, science, politics, fountain pens; trying a shot at writing.
Qoto's ad on the birdsite, mentioning its character limit (2^16-1) sold it to me, besides the fact that it focuses on STEM. One can basically post a decent sized novel here, or an essay, or a research paper here. I intend to use it for something like that.
One may also find me at the birdsite as @MadhurVarshney@Twitter.com, or as @Muo.
