My Jewish neighbor just wished me Merry Christmas. I said Happy Hanukkah back as a courtesy and they were as surprised as I was. Reddit moment

Honestly? I really want to see a FOSS, federated Vine/Tik Tok clone.

I pull the trigger just to show her that I need her
But she don't really trust anyone

@realcaseyrollins Oh, Geez, and that's after we deleted a bunch of spam accounts earlier this week.

About 50 created in maybe 10 minutes or so. Bot action from NJ, US.

We passed 5,000 maybe two weeks ago, almost 6,000 now. Sadly many of those never post much.

@realcaseyrollins @DissidentKitty@radical.town The Grinch Came this morning... 😜

Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?
Dark days, I'm terrified
I know that something isn't right
You take what you want
Then you leave when you're done
Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?

Gee I started following a bunch of bots last night and now there's hilarity in my feed 🤣

I just came across a post by someone who spouses De-Federation of QOTO.org -- and has simply posted a snapshot of one of our pages, without a word, to support their case.

I stumbled upon a reply in that thread by sheer accident, in the Home feeds.

If anyone is interested, it is here : radical.town/@DissidentKitty/1

The post is Pinned at the top of DissidentKitty's user profile.

A number of users are posting supporting her views, a few disagree.

@DissidentKitty@radical.town is the author of the request.

@helloworld Hi, and welcome to Qoto... 🙂

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-gu

We also have another new users guide, posted here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.

Have a good day!

And on Christmas Eve, we get into a fight with someone with a mobile phone, some weird ideas and time to drum up and attack our instance.

Kind of neat the title being bandied there now, STEM Lords, for our staff here at QOTO.

LOL, thanks DK. 😜

Happy Holidays to you too.

@freemo @realcaseyrollins@civiq.social It's been a busy morning, Casey -- I found that thread just by accidentally spotting one of the replies on the Home feeds.

Followed it, and this person has opened an attack calling for De-Federation of our instance. with a one line piece of text and a snapshot of one of our pages.

Thread was posted last night and got a surprising number of Boosts. I responded in the thread until @DissidentKitty@radical.town blocked me apparently.

Feels like this was all done on a mobile, immature prank, but still she means it, it seems.

Made a topi here earlier : qoto.org/@design_RG/1033633579

...with link to hers which is pinned at the top of her profile.
