#QOTO is seeing a pretty big spike in new user signups this last week. Anyone know whats going on and what is causing the exodus this time? Is this all because all the social media decided to ban trump maybe? It is the only event of consequence I know of.
@freemo I had a mastadon account on a different instance years ago but abandoned it. The recent stuff reminded me why federation is important. Furthermore the UI, software, and terms of use on qoto are IMO much better than most instances I've seen.
While I don't agree with some of my friend's political views I don't like the idea of a huge group of people being censored. It bothered me when platforms like parlor became so popular among them instead of something open like mastodon so I (and probably many people in similar situations) have been encouraging them to find an instance they like and join it.
