Throwing this into the void.
One might make the case qoto.org could use a brand renewal, due zombie issues that are haunting it a little.
So let's interrogate the current state of satisfaction with #QOTO. Let the #fediverse know what YOU have experienced.
Under the hashtag #HappyWithQOTO? (with the❓mark), let us know what you like about the instance AND what you DO NOT.
Perhaps we can crowd-source a gestalt.

@bonifartius Interesting, watched it to the end. Agree with the premise but not some of the points. But I won't get into that. Worthy of a watch.

So it seems joinmastodon removed QOTO from their directory without cause, without contacting us, and without any discussion or due diligence.
Since this is the only way to actually find QOTO for new users if it isnt reversed soon it could mean the end for our wonderful community.
If you care about this place remaining fair, respectful, and inclusive environment I highly suggest everyone reach out to them annd voice your objecttion and your disapointment and having no procedure to keep this fair and inclusive.
If you want to see QOTO stick around you can email your objecttion here:
hello@joinmastodon.org
Feel free to CC me here: jeffrey.freeman@qoto.org
Please be respectful, we want to show them we are the good guys and not give them any reason to object.
If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden
