So I was thinking a bit and want to get some input... As you all know QOTO is for anyone in STEM as a professional or with a passion for the topic.

I just had an idea of starting a sister-server, one based on the same principle as QOTO but oriented specifically for students and amateurs as seperate from QOTO, which will remain open to everyone.

This separation can have a few advantages. For starters a new server that will have a new reputation in the fediverse so will have much larger initial reach . But more importantly we can use the main server as sort of a source for mentorship for those on the younger server. I'd like to setup extracurricular servers that might be good to facilitate this and provide learning resources as well as publish more advanced content. Maybe even start a scientific journal or organize a shared blog where all our members can post to as a collective...

I'd love some thoughts.

As long as the principles are the same, I think it is not a bad idea @freemo ... It creates a separate space where students can do networking :3 I think this is not the first time it has been discussed... but I might have dreamed it :') Other servers should be moderated as well... more workforce required ^^ @trinsec @khird
