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.

Public - everyone can see, Unlisted - use this for replies in threads - everyone can see, but it doesn’t repost in the local or federated timelines, so doesn’t clog things up, Followers only - does what it says , Direct - only to people you @ in the message.

But before doing that, did you know it blocks calls to tracking domains?
You can check blocked calls by taping on the top red bubble counter.

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
We're heading into the weekend by announcing our intent to add #IPFS support to #Mastodon
This means that media attachments can also be collectively shared across the fediverse, just like messages already are.
Initial funding page up on @opencollective if you want to support, and we'll dig in more on this next week! https://opencollective.com/fission/contribute/ipfs-media-support-for-mastodon-48315
For those of you who need a graphical explanation of how the fediverse works...
So, I'm asking, as embarrassing as it is that I don't have enough diversity in my network to do it on my own:
Can you amplify this to help us find #francophone, #Black, #indigenous, and #Asian #Canadian people, able and willing to do the hard work of helping a group remember to take diverse needs into account at the offset, so we can make a good #SocialSpace for everyone from the get go?
If that sounds like you, bless you, could you let me know so we can get a conversation started?
Thanks.
