Really liking #QOTO and #Mastodon very much so far!
Huge shoutouts to @freemo and @Surasanji for maintaining this instance! 👏
All this talk of India
lately has really got me wanting my favorite indian dish. I just made plans to go to my favorite indian resteraunt in Amsterdam on wednesday and im stocked!
Everytime I go to this restaurant it feels like some magical entranceway to narnia or something. It is this small unsuspecting door sitting between a row of shops. When you ent it you follow this long narrow hallway that twists and turns with few markings until you finally open up to the full restaurant, but prior to that you feel like your about to see mr thomas scutter by or something.
The food is amazing though and with the usual lovely indian hospitality and beers. I am usually the only one there who isnt indian, which is how I know its the right place to be :)
@freemo @Deepsealioness @OpusOfAli Am a Hindu and am ashamed of the verdict as I feel it is gross injustice to the Muslims.
Just a reminder, I am happy to add any emoji to #QOTO requested by any of our users. Just send me the emoji you'd like added and I'll add it and you can start using it. That also includes personal emojis (for example an emoji of your own face if you wish to be vain) :)
I myself added an emoji of my monogram (A stylization of my initials) ![]()
Currently looking for some good Research papers (obviously already published) on Industry 4.0 as I will have to conduct my Seminar on it. If you happen to know/read anything useful on it, then please share. Thank you!

Imagine someone saying that Taj Mahal is the birthplace of Adam. Then all Angels fly and destroy Taj Mahal claiming that underneath the demolished structure we found evidence of apple eaten 'by' Adam and Eve.
After years of 'legal' battle between Adam clan (aka) angels and Taj Mahal curators the government says that the land belongs to Angels and they can grow as many apple trees they want.
#AyodhyaVerdict
It is very sad , also Kashmir an entire state has been under lockdown for almost 100 days now ! Kashmir is the only Muslim majority state in India. We don’t have any idea what is happening because they cut of Internet on August 5th
@freemo It is a complex issue, it will require about 3-4 hours of your time to get basic understanding,
I am suggesting the following resources, go through them, pretty solid journalism. Ask away any questions you have.

@freemo @OpusOfAli Hindus are majority, Muslims, Christians, sikhs are the larger groups of religious minorities who have faced communal violence. Parsis, Jains are religious minorities who are not largely affected. Muslims right now are targeted by the fascists ruling India
My maternal grandfather was asking me about the #AyodhyaVerdict and as soon as i told him about Muslim getting 5 acre land, he was done. A explained him 3 times what the verdict says. But for the past half hour, I've been listening to him saying how fked up our society is and how Muslims are getting all the benefits. S.M.H.
@freemo @Karthikdeva @Deepsealioness @citrustwee nice, I see you are running the instance on @mastohost which is hosted at #ovh in the EU, nice...
After waking up I decided to greet and answer questions from all the new #QOTO users we got over night last night. Took me an hour just to say Hi to everyone!
Can't wait to see all the new discussions in or future!
A new way to measure #gravity: Using floating atoms
Quick video from #Mozilla explaining new CSS properties for styling underlines!
first time I heard about Attention Schema theory to understand Consciousness. Interesting overview of 3 new books. https://undark.org/2019/11/08/three-new-books-human-consciousness/#
Seems we have over 400 new users on #QOTO from the Indian Twitter Exodus in the last 24 hours, nearly 600 this week!
For everyone I havent gotten the chance to welcome yet, Hi, I have no doubt our new Indian
friends will enrich our community in new ways that I for one am eagerly looking forward to.
